D4 Drivers

D4Drivers is the UK’s largest provider of driver medicals, serving over 100,000 drivers every year. With over 95 locations across the UK, D4Drivers puts HGV drivers first, offering appointments to suit you, including evenings and weekends. Your HGV medical includes an eye test, with same week appointments available. You will be examined by a doctor who specialises in completing D4 driver medicals, running clinics dedicated for drivers. D4 Drivers are approved by The RHA.

Our doctor will complete your full D4 medical during the examination. Your medical consists of an eyesight test using a snellen chart, blood pressure checks to ensure your BP meets DVLA criteria and a questionnaire regarding your medical history.

For the vision requirement, you must meet 6/7.5 in one eye and 6/60 in the other on a 3 metre snellen chart. If you do wear driving glasses or lenses, you should bring these along with your current prescription to the assessment.

Your medical assessment will also include checks for other standards that need to be met by drivers of group 2 vehicles. You will be asked questions regarding a range of issues such as epilepsy, seizures, insulin treated diabetes, and many other forms of medical condition, in order  to ascertain if you meet the conditions not to be refused for a group 2 licence.

Our doctor will complete your D4 form based on the answers you provide relating to your medical history, medications and the findings of your examination. The whole process of carrying out a HGV medical should usually take around 10-20 minutes but this does depend on your health and medical history.

 The DVLA require existing lorry drivers to have a medical at the following intervals

• at the age of 45
• then every five years until the age of 65
• after 65, the medical has to be completed every year
• a medical examination needs to be carried out for everyone before they can apply for a provisional HGV licence
