Just a quickie…my licence expires on 12 April 2025.
My Mrs booked me a medical which is on the 25 Feb 25.
Is this too soon, will I need to book one a bit nearer to the expiry date by the regulations?
Thanks.
I expect others will deny or confirm but i had my first medical about 2 years before i got my licence. As it took me a while to get the money together for lessons so i assume its the same for renewal
I’m sure the form D4 (hgv medical form) used to be valid for 12 weeks but it appears to now be valid for 4 months.
I would assume that’s 16 weeks rather than 4 calendar months.
I make the dates you’ve mentioned less than 9 weeks so you should be OK.
That’s what I wanted to hear…
Thanks for that…
Similar situation. Did mine 2 weeks ago. Can’t do anything until the letter and forms come through from DVLA which are automatically sent to you because the doctor needs to fill the form in that you need to send back to DVLA with your old licence to renew.
Think my letter came through with about 5 weeks left on my license. Did my medical straight away. Posted it all back to DVLA recorded delivery on a Saturday and I think my new license was back by the Friday.
