Hazard anticipation is safety critical and research links it with crash risk and driver experience.

Roadworthy refresh for learners and returning drivers.
Choose how long you have been away from driving, then use the skill-fade planner to find the right Highway Code refresh, hazard practice, and video topics before you book.
Suggested refresh route
Off the road 1 year
Expect some skill fade in anticipation and decision timing, especially around roundabouts, cyclists, pedestrians, and complex junctions.

Decision timing fades quickly when you have not practised multi-step traffic situations.

Road positioning and lane discipline
Driving inactivity research points to deterioration in lateral positioning control.

Cyclists, pedestrians, and safe passing
The Highway Code hierarchy puts greater responsibility on drivers to reduce risk to vulnerable road users.
Find clips What fades first
Hazard anticipation and scanning, because it is a complex judgement skill built through exposure.
Road positioning and lane control, especially after long driving inactivity.
Junction timing, roundabout planning, and vulnerable-road-user decisions.
Parking and reversing, because they combine observation, steering, spacing, and low-speed control.
Rule memory, because Highway Code updates can happen while a driver is away from the road.
