What’s involved in the HGV driver's D4 medical in Blackburn?
The D4 driver HGV medical involves submitting a medical history questionnaire and undergoing a physical assessment. This assessment features an eyesight test with a Snellen chart and a blood pressure measurement to meet DVLA criteria.
Vision assessment: To meet the visual requirement, your eyesight should be 6/7.5 in one eye and 6/60 in the other, as tested on a 3-metre Snellen chart. If you rely on glasses or contact lenses, take them and your prescription to the medical exam.
Blood pressure check: In order to qualify under the DVLA group 2 standard, your blood pressure must be less than 179/99 consistently. A systolic measurement of 180 or more or a diastolic of 100 or more will mean you fail to meet the criteria.
Medical questionnaire: As part of the medical history check, you'll need to provide information about conditions like epilepsy, seizures, insulin-dependent diabetes, and others. Managed health issues generally won't affect your application.
Medications, medical history, and examination results will all be considered when filling out the D4 form by your doctor. In most cases, the whole process takes 15 minutes.
How often do I need a D4 HGV driver's medical?
Driver Medical Requirements by Age: As a professional driver, you'll need a medical check at the beginning of your career. From 45, it’s every five years, and after 65, you’ll be required to take it yearly.

How will I know when I need a HGV driver's health check?
Normally, a reminder letter and D4 medical form are sent out a few weeks prior to your medical date. The expiry date on the back of your HGV licence medical helps you track the due date. For renewals, DVLA mails out renewal forms 56 days before your licence expiry.
