Hazard Recognition
As an advanced rider you will be expected to search for information in the near, middle and far distant views. Advanced riders look for and see more than other riders and so have more information on which to plan their riding - allowing them to look ahead and cover a much wider field of view. They are always looking for clues to enable them to anticipate the actions of other road users.

The examiner will want to see evidence that you are doing this. Even in congested traffic advanced riders will always be using observation to form a riding plan, looking far enough ahead so that they are not forced into an unplanned action or a move out of sequence in the system. It is not enough merely to acknowledge a change, but how this is being analysed and ordered in developing a riding plan.
