I don't get the "impossible to get out of rookies" thing

Probably a controversial topic, but I've seen some people talk about how hard it is for them to get out of rookies, and I get it, there are a lot of incidents where there's just nothing you can do... But I played for about 2 weeks (about a race every 2 days) and got out of rookies in sports cars and oval, I'm completing my first month soon and still haven't encountered a lot of intentional wrecks, just some chaos. Am I lucky or are people just crashing too much?
