Rush Hour is a mission in Driver: Parallel Lines.
Plot[]
Slink has a shipment of drugs cleared from the airport, and has four rental cars completing the delivery - four identical cars with only one of them holding the drugs. TK takes out each of the drivers and finds the drugs before they are delivered to distribute the shipment.
Objectives[]
- Get some wheels [Back to top]
- If the player arrives at the mission starting corona on-foot, they will be told to acquire a vehicle before starting.
- Find the drugs. [Back to top]
- After the man in the store's booth informs the player about the drug cars, they are told to find the drugs. The drugs are found in one of the four vehicles marked on the maps. Each will spawn near the player where they were first seen near the LaGuardia Airport, and will disband in various directions, particularly towards Midtown (Manhattan), Redhook (Brooklyn), Harlem (Manhattan) and Flushing Meadows (Queens). At this point, the player is also given 9 minutes to get to all vehicles and check them.
- Stop the courier. [Back to top]
- Upon approaching a drug vehicle, the player is told to stop the car. This can be easily achieved by firing several rounds of a weapon at the car, usually forcing the driver to stop, or alternatively outright killing the driver. Either way, the vehicle will then come to a stop. This objective is instructed on approach of the first three cars.
- Check the courier's car for the drugs. [Back to top]
- Once the car has stopped, the player should enter the car, to determine whether there are drugs in the vehicle. There will be a negative response if the car has no drugs, however the structure of the mission means that it will always be the last vehicle that has the drugs[citation/verification needed].
- No drugs here. Try another car. [Back to top]
- If the car has no drugs in it, the player is told to check another car.
- Must be him! Take him out! [Back to top]
- When the player finds the drug car, they are told instead to take him out, and the time limit will disappear. The vehicle will begin to drive even faster than the others, and will make a run through alleyways to escape. The car should be destroyed (easily done with explosives) to complete the mission.
Pre-Mission Instructions[]
- Catch the real courier.
- Stop him from delivering the drugs.

Tips[]
- It is essential for the player to use a fast sports car to get from one vehicle to the next.
- Be aware that each of the drivers are armed and ready to shoot the player when they exit the car, assuming they are not killed beforehand.
- If the player destroys one of the decoy rental cars before finding the real one, the guy from the rental agency will berate them.
- Similar to Riding Shotgun, the unique "drug dealer" peds that spawn inside the cars will repeatedly spawn on the streets of New York both during and after the mission. This is due to the shared game mechanic in which utilised vehicles and pedestrians will spawn more commonly when currently on screen.

| Pre-Mission |
| Ray | You're gonna love this. Slink's got a big shipment of party drugs just cleared the airport. And guess how he's bringing it into the city? Rental cars. Four drivers, four identical cars. Only one's carrying the stash - the others are decoys. Guy thinks he's being clever, huh? So you're gonna show him he's not. Take out all the cars if you have to. Destroy the drugs. If you're up for this, head down to the rental agency - I got a contact there who'll give you a heads-up. |
| At the rental agency |
| Ray's Contact | Ohmigod the cars are on the move. I can track them, but not for long - my supervisor'll be back any minute. Then I can't help. Not for any money - understand? No way. |
| TK goes to look for the rental car carrying the drugs. He finds one car and kills the courier. |
| Ray's Contact | Is it him? Is that the right one? That the car? The one with the... stuff? |
| TK looks in the car, but doesn't find any drugs inside. |
| Ray's Contact | Wrong car! You're gonna have to chase one of the others, go! |
| TK looks for the other identical cars, but only finds the decoys in two cases. He then chases down the last remaining car. |
| T.K | Oh, man! Why is it always the last place you look? |
| TK destroys the car with the drugs. |
| Ray's Contact | You got it, about time! Tell Ray he owes me. Big time. |
| T.K | Thanks, you've been a big help! |
Trivia[]
- This mission is similar to the mission "Find the clue" from another game in the Driver series, Driver 2. Both missions involve searching for four cars within the time limit, with the three cars being decoys, and the last one having the real thing. The difference is that in "Find the clue", Tanner must find the car with the file that has a clue leading to Rosanna Soto, whereas in "Rush Hour", T.K. has to find the drugs and destroy them. Also, in "Find the clue", it's mandatory to destroy the cars before checking them, whereas in "Rush Hour", it's optional.
