Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why is a medical required for the Bus License?
The D4 medical form that is completed is a statutory requirement for all drivers who are driving a heavy vehicle such as a bus and these range from various category licenses between C and D license (usually dependent on the weight of the vehicle). All of our medicals are assessed to the strict Group II DVLA standards. However, our friendly doctor will guide you through the whole process from A-Z to ensure that you have a seamless journey to and from our clinic.
2. What would the Bus D4 medical involve and how long will it last?
The Bus D4 DVLA Appointment will last approximately 15 - 20 minutes and involves the doctor assessing your height, weight, blood pressure and also your visual acuity by getting you to read letters from an eye chart. Following this, the doctor will ask a thorough set of questions and review any relevant medical history, GP records or hospital records that might be relevant. Again, medical records are optional but should there be a condition that is being dealt with extensively between your GP and the hospital, then it is highly recommended to bring printout letters or notes.

(a) New-time applicant when applying for Bus License.
