HGV Medicals
What does a hgv medical involve & what do i bring?
The HGV medical consists of two components:
The first part involves an interview where the doctor and candidate discuss any existing medical conditions that might impede safe driving. This discussion also delves into the candidate’s medical history, requiring honesty and openness. Any deceit revealed in the event of a future accident or violation could lead to undesirable consequences.
The second portion of the medical entails a physical examination, during which the doctor assesses the candidate’s vital signs, vision, and other relevant factors. The entire examination typically lasts 30 minutes. Throughout the process, the doctor completes an official DVLA form, which is directly sent to the authorities. A downloadable version of this form is available on the GOV.UK website.
