As I am often racing in the middle to back of the pack, I am often hit by racers at the first corner and those who don't know about breaking earlier when following people.
I have an incident rating of just under 3 but consider my self to be one of the cleaner racers as almost none of my contacts are my fault or at least are shared responsibility. Often I wont bother reporting as there is a policy of not removing incidents no matter what the result.
For instance, I had a race where off the line I was catching the car in front, he then swerved as he thought he was getting to close to the wall. I eased off the throttle and the car behind me took no avoiding action spinning me round to be hit by 4 other cars, then one more as they drove back on to the track. This gives me 6 incidents because I avoided hitting the muppet in front.
Mine is 3.2 and has always been that for my whole SRS career 500 starts, I consider myself "clean" too, i'll take resposibility for half of those so that makes me a 1.5 but 3 is fine anyway, it has no indication of what kind of safe driver you are, only how much contact per race average and 3 is fine, it could mean anything from punted to rammed to running off the track into a wall, unsafe entry back onto track, all sorts of things 3 could mean. I had a friend was qual, up front most, his INC. rating was (5) before 100 starts because of bad luck...
