How to unlock the Eye of the Needle achievement in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Definitive Guide

I believe the best way to do this is to when you here that there is a road block coming up slow down a fraction. Then as you draw near you will be that there will be a gap somewhere in the middle of the roadblock where you can squeeze through or alternatively if you hug the outside wall of the roadblock you will make it through with ease.

i woul presume most people would use LT or X for a hand brake. The is no slow down time feature in this game.

A "glitch" to do this (happened to me) is when just before the road block, you hit a car and it says "CRASHED", you respawn just after the road block and it will pop as well.

Yeah a similar glitch also occurs if you hit a cop or opponent with a weapon (or take them down) immediately before hitting the roadblock. Doing this seems to make you temporarily invincible, so even if you crash through the roadblock you don't take any damage and will still get the achievement - that's how I got it.

This came up as a suggested easy achievement for a TA challenge. Just wanted to add it wasn't avail to do until the "Breach of the Peace" race, about 5 races into the game. So people know know how long they might need to play before having the chance to unlock

The cop will use roadblocks just drive past the roadblock, whether you drive through the opening of the roadblock or use a shortcut it will still count and the trophy will pop up.
