Officer Honk patrols every road after Harbor Dawn. Knowing when he can arrest you is more useful than simply buying a faster bike.

What actually gets you arrested
Honk arrests you when he is close and you are either down on the road or crawling below 30 km/h. Merely having the siren behind you is not an instant loss. A bust ends the race, prevents a career clear and charges a fine.
The warning gives you time to find clear road. Stop picking a fight beside a truck, avoid the oncoming lanes and do not brake to a crawl in front of him. Crashing while he is nearby is the dangerous part of a chase.
Save a fish for a clean escape
Honk's bike is a little faster than yours, so normal full-throttle riding alone is not a reliable escape. Fish Nitro gives you a temporary speed advantage. Save it for a straight with room ahead; a boost into a corner or traffic can turn an escape into an arrest.
If you keep moving long enough, he gives up. Later leagues make him faster and more persistent. You can also knock him off his bike, but chasing a fight with low health is a risk. His nightstick is not a weapon you can take with Gulp.
Watch the birds beside you
Most rivals behave more politely near the police. Cheap-shot riders may try to knock you down in front of Honk instead. Make space from an aggressive bird before the cop draws level. A clean lane is often worth more than one extra knockout bonus.
Career rivals can also remember a previous race. A payback warning identifies the bird looking for you. It is a short, limited grudge rather than a permanent speed penalty: keep control of the road and choose whether to fight back.
A bad chase does not erase everything
A bust still lets you keep eligible pickup cash and knockout bonuses under the race's normal limits. Your progress is saved in the browser; signing in also enables cloud saves. Keep a repair fund before spending all your cash on a new bike.
Use Quick Race to practise police roads without affecting career money. Harbor Dawn has no police and is a useful place to learn the basic controls first. The opening three tracks are free to try in a desktop or mobile browser.

Ride smarter. Cause better trouble.
Your first race: steal a fish, stay on the road
Start with a battered scooter and a very useful beak. This route through the opening races teaches the moves that matter before you spend your winnings.
A big beak is better than a full inventory
Every race begins with bare wings. Your next weapon is riding beside you. The interesting choice is how to take it, when to use it and when to let it go.
