What does the medical examination involve?

Once you’ve booked your appointment take along your DVLA D4 form which is included in the application pack and head to your chosen GP’s surgery. You should already have filled out the first section of this form marked ‘to be completed by you’. You will be required to give a urine sample as they will be testing for diabetes so best to drink a pint of water before you leave the house. The examination will only take around 30 minutes and you will be asked questions about the following topics:

• cardiovascular

• endocrine system

• musculoskeletal

• neurological

• psychiatric

• vision

Based on your answers and the results of the tests your doctor will give opinion as to whether you satisfy the DVLA Group 2 medical standards and they will complete the remainder of the DVLA Standard 2 D4 Medical form, sign it, and put their surgery stamp on it. 

What medical conditions could effect my application?
