HGV Medical D4 Assessment in Knutsford

What’s involved in the HGV driver's D4 medical in Knutsford?

Your D4 HGV medical will involve completing a medical history form and undergoing a physical examination. This examination features a Snellen chart eyesight test and a blood pressure check to meet the DVLA’s required standards.

Vision assessment: The vision standard is a minimum of 6/7.5 in one eye and 6/60 in the other, checked on a 3-metre Snellen chart. Make sure to bring your driving glasses or contact lenses, as well as your current prescription, to the medical examination.

Blood pressure check: In order to meet the DVLA group 2 standard, your blood pressure should not regularly exceed 179/99. If your systolic is consistently 180 or above or your diastolic is 100 or more, you will not meet the standard.

Medical questionnaire: As part of the medical history form, you’ll need to report conditions like epilepsy, seizures, insulin-treated diabetes, and other health concerns. Conditions that are well-controlled may not impact your application.

A doctor will fill out your D4 form based on your medical history, medications, and results of your examination. For the entire process to be completed, it usually takes 15 minutes.

How often do I need a D4 HGV driver's medical?

Driver Medical Exams: The DVLA stipulates that drivers must undergo medical checks starting when they begin their career. After 45, medical exams are required every five years, and from age 65, they must be taken annually.

How will I know when I need a HGV driver's health check?

Before your medical is due, you’ll usually receive a D4 medical form and a reminder letter in the post. Additionally, you can check the expiry date on the back of your HGV licence medical. Renewal paperwork is sent by the DVLA 56 days ahead of the licence expiry date.
