HGV Medical Requirements
It is advisable to check that you meet the medical standards needed for driving before you make an appointment. If you have any doubts please consult your own GP.
Medical standards required for drivers of Group 2 vehicles (lorries, buses, and minibuses) are higher than those required for Group 1 (car and motorcycle) drivers.
These standards also apply when renewing categories C1 (small or medium lorries between 3500–7500kg) and D1 (minibuses not for hire or reward) which were given when a car driving test was passed before 1997.
HGV Medical General Health Requirements
Our doctor will ask a series of questions as listed on the D4 form.
The doctor will only sign you off as medically fit if they are satisfied that you meet the requirements.

This may be achieved with or without glasses or contact lenses.
If glasses are worn for driving, the spectacle prescription of either lens used must not be of a corrective power greater than plus 8 (+8) dioptres in any meridian.
