HGV Medical D4 Assessment in Warrington

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

The D4 driver medical for HGV requires completing a medical history questionnaire and undergoing a physical exam. This exam includes a vision test on a Snellen chart and a blood pressure check to ensure compliance with DVLA regulations.

Vision assessment: A minimum vision of 6/7.5 in one eye and 6/60 in the other, tested using a 3-metre Snellen chart, is required. Please have your glasses or contact lenses for driving, along with your prescription, at the medical assessment.

Blood pressure check: For the DVLA group 2 qualification, your blood pressure must not stay above 179/99. If your systolic measurement is consistently 180 or higher, or your diastolic is 100 or more, you will not meet the standard.

Medical questionnaire: The medical history form will inquire about conditions such as epilepsy, seizures, insulin-treated diabetes, and other health concerns. Well-managed conditions typically won’t influence your application.

Your doctor will consider your medication history, medical history, and examination results when filling out the D4 form. In most cases, the entire process takes about 15 minutes to complete.

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

Driver Health Assessments: The DVLA mandates that professional drivers have a medical exam when starting out, then every five years from age 45. After turning 65, drivers must have an annual exam.

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

Before your medical is due, a reminder letter and D4 medical form will typically be sent to you. The expiry date on the back of your HGV licence medical can also help you know when it’s time. For licence renewals, the DVLA sends paperwork 56 days prior to the expiry date.
