What’s involved in the D4 Medical?

A D4 Drivers' 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.

The D4 Drivers' 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 D4 medical examination should usually take around 10-20 minutes but this does depend on your health and medical history.

The completed form will then need to be submitted to DVLA along with your Driver Licence Renewal application.
