Why Driver Medicals Are Required in Huntingdon

If you’re applying for or renewing your licence, you’ll need a driver medical for:
- HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) – for lorry and truck drivers.
- PCV (Passenger Carrying Vehicle) – for bus, coach, or minibus drivers.
- PCO/Taxi & Private Hire – required by many local councils and licensing authorities.
- D4 Medical Form – the official DVLA form for HGV and PCV licence applications or renewals.
By booking your Huntingdon driver medicals for HGV, PCV, PCO & D4 with us, you can rest assured your assessment will meet DVLA standards.
