    Hopefully this video will help anyone who is having trouble with this achievement. You just need to follow Vernon Mapes from the burning building to Hughes Aircraft without failing. Good luck!

    Hirsute DaveAnd if you stick to about 6-7 car lengths behind you should be able to see where he's going and still have enough reaction time to follow him pretty easily.

    Barad 007yh i fell behind so just quit from the pause menu and then go on resume from the main menu, look at the gas on the floor and the passport near the bed then chase him again, you can still get the achievement, i did.

    "Out Of The Frying Pan"
    Description: Pursue Vernon Mapes from the burning house to Hughes Aircraft on your first attempt

    When chasing Vernon Mapes in your car near the end, ensure that you don't lose him and this achievement will be yours, if you do lose him then quit out and restart it.

    Tips:
    > Ensure there's some distance between you and Vernon so that when he makes a sudden turn (which he does numerous times) you have time to copy the manoeuvre.
    > Watch out for the Army cars that try to knock you off-course halfway through the chase.
    > If the icon on the minimap fades out, catch up quickly otherwise there's the chance you'll lose him and have to restart.
    > Whilst drifting around corners is a good tactic, avoid doing so if you are not very good at them as there are high chances you will crash and lose him.
    > USE THE POLICE SIRENS!!
