HGV Medical Form D4

[smokeysmoo]

Just realised I need a medical done and dusted by the end of the year, (Iturn 45 on 2nd Jan).

I've sent off for one, (7-10 days), but wondered if anyone had one by chance so I could start the ball rolling a.s.a.p. with Chrimbo looming and all that

DVLA should send you one when you need to have it. 45 is your 1st of many.
Having said that, I would have thought that they would have sent it by now if your classification expiry date is 2nd January.
Where, geographically, are you as mine only cost £45!

I was told today they send you one automatically but as it's inside of a month until I turn 45 I've got a twitch on now about getting it done and dusted in time.

I don't know yet what my Doc's will charge but I'm expecting about £80 TBH!

I live in Bolton Lancashire.

Your doc will charge you for two appointments. Can be pricey!

I’d phone DVLA and check what’s going on if it were me.

I've just got my D4 form in, two months ahead of my 55th. Presume all your details are up to date with DVSA and they've not sent it to an old address?

Nothings changed at my end, been at same address for 12 years and same address as when I passed my HGV test

Just filled in the contact form so I'll expect a call tomorrow I guess

Just thinking... check the back of your driving license, it will have the expiry date of your C or C+E entitlements. It is not necessarily the same date as your birthday.

Yup I've done that this afternoon but I'm just hoping to get one sooner than 7 - 10 days TBH

I may have been given a bum steer today looking at this, guess this means it's panic over?

Looks like it.
I’d contact DVLA/DVSA and ask the question just to put your mind at rest though.
Better safe than sorry, I reckon!
