    For this you need to complete a few races (about 3 or 4) without bumping into or even touching anything to be safe, so the enviroment and cars around you.

    You could do this by just playing online but by this you take a risk and must be a lot more careful and sacrifice your win.

    Instead you could set up a private Jam session with a friend, choose Rally cross - LA Coliseum - Vermont Avenue - 1 Lap ( this is the shortest track in the game around 30 seconds)

    Most importantly in "Advanced settings" turn every driving assist OFF but turn impact rating and collisions ON.

    Once your impact rating symbol (next to your name in lobby) goes to a white hexgon shape, you will recieve the achievement. You will get the hexagon after you have passed the red, yellow and green circle.

    Thanks for reading.

    I'm a bit late for the party, but now with completely dead LIVE multiplayer in 2020 I've found an interesting trick to unlock this achievement.

    Despite the achievement description says that you have to earn a Cautious rating via LIVE, it's actually works in LAN play. More to say - you can even do this with youself without using dummy accounts! Although you will need a second device (another PC or laptop) with the game installed.

    Also, this offline/LAN trick could be used to unlock some other achievements:

    DiRT 3 (GFWL)Can't Touch This!The Can't Touch This! achievement in DiRT 3 (GFWL) worth 41 pointsRemain uninfected in a round of Outbreak (Pro Tour or Jam Session)

    DiRT 3 (GFWL)Cheeze It!The Cheeze It! achievement in DiRT 3 (GFWL) worth 49 pointsBe the mouse in a Cat n Mouse game where your team has gone on to win the game (Jam Session)

    DiRT 3 (GFWL)Join the PartyThe Join the Party achievement in DiRT 3 (GFWL) worth 129 pointsWin a game in each of the multiplayer party modes (Pro Tour or Jam Session)

    DiRT 3 (GFWL)Road TripThe Road Trip achievement in DiRT 3 (GFWL) worth 64 pointsComplete a Joyride online with at least 3 other players

    1. Firstly, start the game on your second device. You can log in to your LIVE profile on it, or even not log in at all, just start a new game without saving!
    If you choose to not to log in, then jump to number 4. In the case of logging in to your profile - activate the game with your key if needed. Don't worry, the key has unlimited activations. Continue with number 2.
    2. Disconnect network cable/disable wireless on that device. You will see the message saying that you've disconnected from LIVE.
    3. After you've seen this message connect network cable/wireless back, but don't reconnect to LIVE!
    4. Launch the game on your main device, log in to your LIVE profile.
    5. Go to the Multiplayer -> Local Network -> Create Game
    6. Choose Rallycross, Location: L.A. Coliseum, Vermont Avenue, 1 lap, collisions ON. In advanced options enable Impact Rating, disable Assists, set Damage to Full.
    7. Go to the Multiplayer -> Local Network -> Quick Session on the second device that is offline from LIVE now. LAN play will still be available.
    8. On the download ghosts prompt press NO.

    Then you'll see both of your profiles with the same name appear in lobby. Impact ratings are showed near the players' names. They could be red circle, yellow circle, green circle and white hexagon. Start a game and complete the track 5-7 times, without touching or crashing into anything. You have to repeat this until you'll see a white hexagon icon on your name. Achievement will pop at the next loading screens.

    And now the most interesting thing. You can also suddenly unlock this achievement while being offline on your second device (if you've logged in), and get it unlocked without timestamp. No worries - just don't go online from that device until you unlock this achievement on your main (online) device. Your online timestamp will be uploaded to LIVE servers and will never be overwritten if you ever go online from that offline device again.
