Need a driver medical to get or renew your licence?
If you drive an HGV, LGV, or PCV, you’ll need a medical (sometimes called a D4 medical) to prove you’re fit to be on the road. At Humber Med, you can get your medical done quickly, professionally, and at a competitive price — without waiting weeks to see your GP. We help drivers like you every week across Hull, Beverley, and the wider Yorkshire and Lincolnshire area.
HGV / LGV / PCV D4 Driver Medicals
If you’re applying for, renewing, or keeping a Group 2 licence (for lorries, trucks, buses, or coaches), the DVLA needs a completed D4 medical form. A doctor has to carry this out with you in person.
You don’t need to go to your own GP — in fact, many charge more than private clinics like ours.
Driver medicals are required
At the outset, before driver training is undertaken, again at the age of 45y then every five years until 65 years of age.
Annually thereafter from the age of 65
under some additional specific circumstances, as specified on the official www.gov.uk website.
You can get everything sorted here in one simple appointment.
What’s included in your driver medical
Your D4 medical checks whether you’re healthy and safe to drive a larger vehicle. It includes:
A full review of your medical history
Blood pressure check
Vision test (with or without glasses/contacts)
Urine test (to check for diabetes or other conditions)
The doctor will fill out your D4 form during the appointment. We’ll even keep a copy on file (with your permission) in case the DVLA has any questions later.
Important: Don’t forget your eyesight
The number one reason people fail the driver medical is poor eyesight.
If you’re not sure your eyesight meets DVLA standards, or haven’t seen an optician in the last 2 years, book an eye test first. If you wear glasses or contacts to drive, you’ll also need to bring your most recent prescription (dated within 12 months).
What you need to bring
To make your appointment as smooth as possible, bring:
Photo ID – no ID, no medical
Glasses / contact lenses (if you wear them)
Your latest optician’s prescription (within 12 months)
A list of any medication you’re taking
GP or hospital letters if you have any ongoing conditions
Be ready to give a urine sample during the medical
Medical Examination form to print (Optional)
