LGV Driver Medicals  Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Where can I get a DVLA D4 Driver Medical Form from?

Answer: Our doctor carries copies of the D4 medical form with him, so you don’t have to bring one to your medical with us.
However if you do need to get a form you can:

• Print a copy here

Question: What happens during a driver medical assessment?

Answer: The doctor will examine you in accordance with the requirements of the relevant D4 Medical Form. During the medical the Doctor will:

• Measure your blood pressure
• Perform eyetest
• List on the D4 Form any medication you’re currently taking
• Ask about your previous medical history (these questions are on the form and are compulsary).

Once the medical is completed you post the form to the DVLA and they decide whether to renew your driving entitlements. If there is a reason why you shouldn’t be renewed the doctor will let you know at the time.

Question: How long does a medical take?

Answer: Approximately 20 minutes but if your medical history is complicated expect it to take longer.
