What is a Drivers Medical?

​

A Drivers Medical (otherwise known as a D4) is a medical examination report for a lorry or bus driving licence. This is required for anyone applying for a Group 2 bus or lorry licence, or if you are applying to renew your Group 2 licence at 45. 

​

It must be filled out by a doctor, optician or optometrist following a medical examination of the driver in question. They will assess the driver’s eyesight, neurological health, psychological health, diabetes risk, cardiac conditions, sleep, and general physical health. 

​

Why choose a private doctor for this?

​

While many drivers may opt for their local GP, having a D4 done privately by a private doctor is the most efficient method – it is likely to be quicker, avoiding the long waitlist of a GP practice, and can work out cheaper. 

​

What is the D4 form?

​

The D4 form itself is a written record of your medical state, with details outlining whether or not you are fit and well enough to drive a LGV or PCV vehicle. It is the law that you are medically fit to drive a bus or a lorry - and as these types of vehicles usually carry a large number of passengers and weight - the importance of being mentally and physically vigilant is heightened. 

​

What are the different licenses?

​

There are however different requirements and limits depending on what type of licence you’re applying for.

• A Class 1 (C1) driver is qualified to drive a truck over 3,500kg (C) with a trailer over 750kg (+E), essentially an articulated lorry.

• A Class 2 (C2) driver is qualified to drive a category C vehicle, or what is frequently referred to as a rigid. 

​

While both licences require a D4 medical, Class 2 drivers must have a medical when applying for a provisional licence for the C category and must renew their medical every 5 years from 45 up to 65, then annually from 65. Class 1 drivers who pass their category C practical test and then apply for category C+E provisional licence will not need another medical. 

​

In all circumstances, if a driver gains the full entitlement a medical must be renewed every 5 years from 45 up to 65, then annually from 65.

​

What must you bring to your appointment?

​

• D4 Medical Form

• Photographic identification 

• Printout of brief summary of your medical records (your GP reception can give you this).

• Vision Assessment (page 2 of the D4 form) pre- completed by an optician.
