Sheer Luck

I took the meaning of the achievement literally as 'avoiding cross traffic'.  I was thinking of all the many different ways to make my car go boom.  It could be anything like just not hitting cross traffic, not crashing into any car be it oncoming OR cross traffic, and then just not effing up at all for the entire race.  I wasn't sure exactly what the creators meant by it so I went with the literal meaning.  I might have to hand that achievement back.  Xan, Zombie?  Can we get a ruling?

The harder to play every game makes you more a winner the cheating to the top!(it's like the needler got on Steroids!)

Yeah ok, I'll hang on to it.

Good luck with that perfect race man.  Every time I go for something like that It goes something like this...  "Sweet!  5 laps down no crashes, I'm gonna make it Im gonna make it, holy crap I think I can do this!  Ah cool theres the finish line, I can do this, I'm gonna get it.  BAM!  wtf was that?  Did I just hit a bird?  Are you serious?  when did they put birds in Burnout?  Are you kidding me?"

LOL.. I know what you mean. This happens all the time to me when I'm going for good lap times. Had a flying lap on White Mountain forward... I'm thinging "SWEET.. this is going to be brilliant" as im flying across the bridge before the finish line... what do i do? Crash into incoming.. 1:48 with crash..  Then on Eastern Bay Long forward (or was it reverse?)... again flying... pretty much never going below 235.. following and catching up some really fast racer (he got 1:43:??...) Again I'm thinking "SWEET..." BOOOM.. crash into oncoming just before the finish line... Zombie was watching and she thought it was funny... Anyway that would probably have been a top 10 time on that lap. SO yeah! I know what you mean.

Without hitting cross traffic I had done that before coming to the site. I remember being really stoked for finally getting 6 laps without those freakin cross traffic cars getting the best of me (Jim, bob, frank, and steve - I named them)

I did this achievement way before it was available, got a good time too(not awesome), to match. And did do it regularyly (is this a word, now i will use Word, got it now, for spell check), as Evil Kon Karne, does this as a regular set up in his rooms.  Not that i could do it on a daily basis, but being first helps, for this one, or last as the other racers have killed most of the traffic, plus being last gives the pity boost for better times lol.

Thats a feature that should be done, by someone in the top 10, have we got any on the site? They should write about their protected rank, and what it is like to have times in the less than top 100 or even the top 10. Things like, did they use the glitch in White mountain or Angel Vally, did they get the times while in first, or use pity boost etc. Were the races so close that the rubber band effect never had a time to stretch, did you set up a six lap race, take each other down till the boost bars were full, then really race, without crashing? I would like to know as i've not taken it to the point of obsession, but some Burners have, i would like to hear your storys. The frustration of getting the best times in the world, then some b*stard, sorry friend, has taken you down on that last turn, i know Ivor (The God Father of the Boost Jump Technique, though i do know it was a room, joint effort, BlueMax etc help developed it as well as others) has some great times as well as Frozen Vapor and Sega, plus others. What is it like to be great on the game, and still try to kick ones own butt, and get even better?

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when its going to run out?

i know what you mean Xan i try to break my laptimes that i get so into them i just crash at the end i do get pissed but i still try harder lol

I didn't use any glitches for any of my online laptimes. Most of my laps were earned with at least some pity boost, although not intentionally... it's just when you race like crap and fall behind, you have a chance to go for a lap. No taking each other down or anything like that, pity boost makes that unnecessary anyway.

when know one is online i make a room with 6 laps and let people race and pass me by 1 or 2 laps then i race hell i did it on ps2 that and i still times timed some people out lol i remember when i got on ps2 for the first time after i beat it 100% i went in a room and phil was in it thats the first time i meet him and beat him with a lap headstart and won they all called me cheater
