D4 driver medicals

A D4 driver medical is a medical examination required for those applying for or renewing a Group 2 driving licence, which includes buses, coaches, and lorries. This assessment ensures that drivers meet the medical standards necessary for safely operating these large vehicles. It's a legal requirement under the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) guidelines to maintain road safety.  

​

Who Needs a D4 Driver Medical?

 

You'll need to undergo a D4 medical if you're:

  • Applying for a Group 2 driving licence for the first time.

  • Renewing your Group 2 driving licence (typically at age 45 and then every 5 years).

  • Notifying the DVLA of a medical condition that might affect your ability to drive.

What Does the D4 Medical Involve?

The D4 medical examination includes the following assessments:

​

  • Medical History: The doctor will ask about your medical history, including any current or past illnesses, surgeries, and medications. Be prepared to provide details about your overall health and any existing medical conditions.

  • Physical Examination: A thorough physical check-up will be performed, including:

    • Eyesight test: You must be able to read a number plate from a specified distance. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring them to the assessment.

    • Blood pressure and pulse check.

    • Heart and lung examination.

    • General physical assessment to check for any mobility issues.

 

What Happens After the Medical?

 

Once the examination is complete, the doctor will fill out the necessary forms and return them to you - you will then need to post these forms to the DVLA. If you meet the medical standards, your Group 2 driving licence will be granted or renewed. In cases where further assessment or specialist reports are needed, the DVLA will contact you directly.
