It's really hard, you have to fly low and you don't know when you'll end up crashing to a tree or building.
Sometimes I accidentally flew over Area 69 or too high and hydra's came on my tail.
Yeah that's the only way I know of. Just save the game in the nearest save points and your good to explore without any random attacks. You may have to survive one before your home free.
Playing as Maccer? That would be the biggest joke ever, I hated this moron with my heart and wish I could murder him easier than having to drive all the way to a desert and pick him up with the option of whacking him to fail the mission.
If that is considered 'crime' then I think everyone who has internet is a criminal since we all have download something copyrighted at some point, whether it's a game, song or movie.
I always ready myself with a M4 when I takeover a Shark site. Then manual aim and shoot the driver so the drive-by stops. The Bikers do I kill on normal bikes or auto aim and the Cholos are easy to kill since they are only 2. The rampages are near impossible to do once you own all the empire sites unless you are on a roof or something. Because they spawn everywhere and attack you heavily.
