To finish the tiger escort driving segment in Saints Row: The Third, maintain control by driving on wide main roads, easing off the accelerator during turns, and avoiding crashes. Unlike typical escort missions, you do not need to fight off waves of enemy vehicles; your primary threat is internal vehicle instability caused by the tiger moving inside your car.
Handling Vehicle Weight Shifts
The tiger in the passenger seat alters your car's physics model. As the animal shifts position, the vehicle's weight distribution changes rhythmically, making steering unpredictable.
- Ease off the accelerator before turns: Reduce your speed prior to initiating a turn to maintain traction and prevent fishtailing or spinning out.
- Make gentle steering corrections: If the car pulls to one side, apply light counter-steering. Over-correcting will worsen vehicle instability once the tiger shifts back.
- Prioritize lane centering: Focus on keeping the vehicle centered in your lane rather than attempting to maintain top speed.
Route Selection and Road Management
Your driving route directly impacts vehicle stability. Confined spaces and high-density traffic increase the risk of accidental hits that disrupt your control.
- Stick to major thoroughfares: Drive on wide main roads. The extra lane space gives you room to adjust when the tiger destabilizes your steering.
- Avoid shortcuts and narrow streets: Do not cut through narrow alleys or crowded pedestrian zones, as minor driving mistakes lead directly to crashes with static structures.
- Stay on smooth pavement: Keep the vehicle on paved streets. Driving off-road or jumping over curbs triggers high-impact physics that make the car nearly impossible to steer alongside the tiger's movements.
Collision Penalties and Mission Completion
Colliding with civilian traffic or roadside obstacles triggers adverse reactions from the passenger.
- Prevent tiger attacks: Crashing into other vehicles causes the tiger to lunge, which heavily destabilizes your steering and can cause a complete loss of control.
- Recover after an impact: If you hit an object, bring the vehicle back under control and stabilize your heading before accelerating back up to speed.
- Stop fully at the drop-off point: When you reach your destination, bring the car to a complete stop before attempting to exit to avoid end-of-mission collision penalties.

Good guide for Saints Row: The Third players. The strategy part was useful.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Saints Row: The Third articles next.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
