If you'd like an explanation for how he manages to avoid it most of the time, keep in mind that the Doctor is temporally sensitive. The show doesn't give us all that much information on how it works, but he's got a whole extra level of sensory perception which revolves around timelines- so he can sense when he's about to blunder into something which would reveal information about his own future, and he tries to keep away from it. Also, I'd say the TARDIS probably has something to do with keeping him out of that sort of trouble (keeping him in every other sort, mind, but it does seem like the TARDIS hates paradoxes)

That's really a Nu!Who thing tho they never bothered with that kind of overexplaining (and failing at it hard) in Classic Who. Exhibit A The Five Doctors. Exhibit B The Two Doctors.

IIRC time senses were mentioned by name at least once or twice in the Classic series. City of Death, maybe? The Five Doctors and the Two Doctors prove my point better than they prove yours though, don't they? The Doctor was sensitive enough to the temporal instabilities caused by something happening to one of his previous selves that he fainted. So, obviously, he can feel it.

Besides, even if it was only in New Who, New Who canon is just as canon as Classic Who canon. It doesn't count any more (as some people seem to argue), but it doesn't count any less either. Especially in cases where the New Who line doesn't contradict anything stated before, just adds in something new. Doctor Who is constantly changing and evolving, and it's silly to rule something out for being too recent.

Yup, this.

Actually, the entire idea of continuity counting "more" and "less" is somewhat ridiculous given how many times Classic Who has completely contradicted itself over the years in order to make innovations -- most of them good and thoughtful and responsible for stopping the show from stagnating, and some of them...really dumb *cough cough* cybermendyingwhenhitbygoldcoins *cough*
