We all guilty of it at some time or another.   it's best just to keep it in you mind that a wreck will always cost you more time than not getting involved in one.  Sometimes pushing to hard can slow you down and cause more problems than simply accepting a pace you can control.

the only time you really should fight hard to keep someone behind you is when it's for a postion.  If you are already laped, run the best you can without interfering with the other racers.  I'm not saying stop and let a car by, but if they are clearly faster it's best to allow the pass to happen, with the faster car out of the way you don't have to worry about them always trying to pass, and you can relax more and run your race.  You will find out that in turn you will also be faster.

I know that not everyone has the skill yet to control their cars perfectly, even the best of us can't avoid hitting someone, or bumping another car.   the overall goal is to just improve on it the best you can and gain the awarence from experience and practice.

one of the most important things is to just watch for oncoming traffic before backing up. if traffic is coming let it by the resume.    nothing is worse than getting involved in a wreck, then backing up into more cars and being caught up in another.   It's all lost time and laps in the end.
