Footage of the crash that left TV presenter Richard Hammond fighting for his life will be aired for the first time as BBC Two's Top Gear returns.
Hammond left hospital just five weeks after his jet powered car came off a runway at 280mph.
He will discuss the incident with presenter Jeremy Clarkson on Sunday.
Hammond has also been filmed meeting up with the members of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance who flew him to hospital following his crash.
Thousands of pounds were raised by Top Gear fans for the air ambulance in the wake of the rescue.
Hammond, 37, told Radio Times he had to pass two hours of complicated mental tests before he won back his driving licence."
"They were worried about flashbacks," he said. "I was like 'hang on, if I was strapped into a jet car on a runway maybe'."
While there was initially some doubt whether he would continue on the show, Hammond said the main obstacle has been everyone wanting to discuss the crash.
He said: "People ask 'what's it really like?' and you take a big breath to tell them.
"And then they're gone. Because it's all rather boring really. It was very touching when people wrote in, but I think now I just want to get on with the job."
Top Gear goes out at 2000 GMT on BBC Two on 28 January.
