How to unlock the Safe Driver achievement in Sleeping Dogs - Definitive Guide

Afternoon TA.

Driving on the highway too hectic? Need to slow down? Hit the civilians? No problem!

Head into the Central part of town. Look at the map, you'll see a massive circle in the uppermost part of the Central area. Drive there, preferably with the "Impounded Sports Car" that you get from the first race mission ( About 4 hours in the game).

Now that you're supposedly here just start driving in the circle. After a few seconds (with max speed ofcourse) the counter will pop up. Now just carefully steer your car without letting go of your RT button, and it should come relatively easily. Atleast at night there will be absolutely nothing in front of you on the road, so that is not going to be a problem of any sort, unlike with the Highway solution.

Also note that you'll find a Jade Statue in the tiny shop that is open 24/7, and a health shrine just a bit left from the store you hopefully just went into to get the statue.

Might take a few tries since you might accidentally slow down too much, but won't be hard at all. Even when counting the time to get there from your Safehouse you'll get the achievement in under 14 minutes.

Also try to use a car that is as slow as possible. A truck could work well enough.

E: I've already got the achievement, but it hasn't yet updated. Don't be too hasty with the down voting

EE: Here's the map, arrow points to the location. Hopefully this will help finding the spot :)

Got it on my first try. Make sure you grab the locked box right next to the health shrine too.

Flawless solution, it took me longer to drive there than to get the achievement. I did it with the Gopher minivan and it was a matter of just holding RT and left on the the thumbstick for 2 minutes.

I tried this solution with the Class B car you get in the beginning, then with a smart car type vrhicle, but just couldn't keep my speed up. I finally did it with a truck, it's max speed is slow enough to control and there is a long, straight road near that circle area and I caught it at a time where traffic was not too bad.

After a few impatient tries with other vehicles, I got this at night with a limousine I stole about a block away. Its top speed and turning radius require almost no correction. I was going counter-clockwise. Once I got the right side of the car aligned with the stripe dividing the two lanes (i.e. drive against the outside edge of the inner lane), I never had to correct the vehicle's direction for several minutes.

And of course don't honk the horn; people will run from the sidewalk into your path (whereas in most cases they tend to get out of the way when they hear the horn).

Using the Gopher is probably the easiest solution since it is a pretty slow vehicle. It's easy to dodge cars coming or going. Start at the entrance to a freeway and waypoint into an adjacent city so you will be following a fairly straight road.

This is a good way to do it. The "Guide" vehicle (which looks similar to the Gopher) also works well.

This is easy on the highway if you are in a slow vehicle. I was in a van. At full speed I was barely faster than the others and it was easy to get around them when needed. Just watch out for construction work. I got 3 minutes of safe driving easily that way.

First off, motorcycles don't count; don't waste your time with one.

It pays to have a slower vehicle like a van or even a package truck. It may be counterintuitive, but it's actually easier to dodge traffic if you're in the oncoming lane (the right lane); you don't have to worry about rear-ending slow moving vehicles (even in a freaking truck, everything's moving slower than you). Ride down the highway for a bit and it shouldn't be that hard.

I did this in one of the little "Smart" type city car things, as at full tilt they're not very quick. Grab one and sit on the highway for a bit. The lower speed and small size makes it easy to just weave through traffic without going slow enough to stop the timer. I think the Trophy unlocked after I'd stopped the timer by slowing down/crashing.

You have to be at almost full speed to do this trophy, so don't use your breaks if you can avoid it. The easiest way is to drive on the highway and do a full circuit, just try to avoid hitting cars, and you should unlock it. It is a little difficult because the game doesn't tell you how much it's counting and if you stop your car or go too slow, you have to start over.

This achievement will be unlocked when you are able to unlock the gold level stat award for Clean Drive. Grab a C or D class vehicle from your garage and head out to the highway, be careful to avoid cars and obstacles for two minutes.

The easiest way is finding slow vehicles and entering in a highway.
Once you drive 2 minutes without crasing the car this trophy achievement will pop-up. This is definitive edition sleeping dogs game.

Pretty straight forward achievement. Get into a car, a slow car would be best as you can control it better. Get onto the highway and just drive without hitting anything for 2 minutes. A timer will pop up on the bottom right corner of your screen.
 

Alternate Solution:

If you are not having any luck getting this while driving on the highway. You can go to the round about towards the top right of the map. I would recommend a class C or high vehicle, that way you can maintain a steady speed in order to unlock this.

Go to this point on the the map: https://i.imgur.com/j8NuU.jpg
And simply start to drive around the circle at a steady speed for 2 minutes. You will not have to worry about other cars, side walk objects or pedestrians getting in your way. It is the easiest and flawless way to get this.

PS4 Definitive Edition: An easy way to do this is to wait until you've unlock the HKPD Police Van. Take it out from your garage and start your journey from Kennedy Town's highways towards North Point and turn on your sirens with . The cars on the road will move out of your way as you approach making the process much easier. The HKPD Police Van is included as part of the Law Enforcer Pack DLC on the PS3.

For this trophy, you need to drive a car around the streets of Hong Kong, without hitting a single object or another vehicle, for the duration of two full minutes or more. You will want to grab a slow car, such as a van, rather than a fast car or a truck, as their manoeuvrability makes it very difficult during tight turns. When you've driven a certain amount of time without hitting anything, a “Clean Driver” stat pop will up on the bottom right of your screen; this is the timer you will refer to.

Aside from driving around without hitting anything, note that you are also required to maintain a high enough speed. Not going fast enough will cause the counter to stop and reset. Even the slightest bump on the road or a slight scratch against a wall or another vehicle will reset the counter.

For the best route, you will want to start on southeast corner in HK on the highway, after the tunnels for best route.
