Medical Examination for C1 provisional

[GC8]

As you can see, my finger isnt on the pulse.. That said, I did see a television programme recently where a 19yr old girl was on the YDS and it was only recorded a couple of years ago...

For anyone interested, got my medical on Wednesday! £55 for the privilege.

Going straight to Class 2 as well.

For anyone interested, I might keep this thread going with for when I start to learn.

Sorry to jump in on your thread 43034, but does anyone know if a current category 'D' licence holder has to retake the medical to get C/C+E provisional entitlement added onto the licence?

[GC8]

No, its a one-off medical for all vocational licences until your original entitlement expires on your 45th birthday.

[GTO Scott]

Thanks for that. Off to the post office later to collect the forms, presumably there's an option on the form to say 'got current medical'?

had my taxi badge medical last week, the forms had no option for "taxi", only truck... so i ticked that.

£45

At the GP Surgery I currently work at, the initial "professional driver" medical (whether HGV driver, taxi driver or whatever) is £168 and subsequent ones are £84! And still they come...

At the GP Surgery I previously worked at the driver medicals were all £50.

As an aside, the main GP at the old place once signed off an insulin-dependant HGV Driver as fit to drive professionally, oops ... That meant an apologetic letter to the PCT with evidence it wouldn't happen again .

£50 is very, very cheap for a GP. In fact, it is £5 less than the cheapest reliable specialist medical firm!

Total necro post I know, but was just wondering. What standard is required for a C1 licence? I'm thinking of applying for the ambulance service but need a C1 for that. Unfortunately I have an ICD so no chance of getting a class 2. Anyone know if this is going to bugger me up?

The same medical and driving standard is required for all LGV & PCV categories

[Matthew-unfv7]

So a class 2 medical is required for C1 category?

Bugger.

What do you mean by class 2 ?

A D4 medical covers all LGV and PCV categories if you tick C & D on the D2 provisional form
