Question 5

What happens during a Medicals 4 Drivers assessment?

Accepted Answer

The Doctor will examine you in accordance with the requirements of the relevant D4 Medical Form.
 
During the medical the Doctor will:
- Complete an eye test (if you wear glasses/ contact lenses, one test without and one test whilst you’re wearing them)
- Record your blood pressure
- List on the Medical Form any medication you’re currently taking
- Ask about your previous medical history (these questions are on the form and are compulsory).
 
Once the medical is completed, you sign the back to say you have given the correct information to the Doctor and you must then check you are happy the form is fully completed and correct before ticking at the end of the form. This is really important as if there are mistakes or omissions, the form is returned to you by DVLA who deem this the Driver’s responsibility.
 
Once you have posted the form to DVLA they will make a decision on your fitness to driver. They will either accept your application or reject it and explain why.
