Driving a Large Goods Vehicle is a big responsibility. It is therefore paramount that anybody wishing to apply for a LGV driving licence meet certain fitness and health standards.
Enterprise LGV Tuition can supply the necessary documentation to apply for your provisional and organise the medical examination on your behalf. A Doctor is available for Enterprise LGV Tuition Trainees on a regular basis making the whole driving licence application process simple.
The Doctor will complete the medical report (D4) that covers
. Eyesight
. The nervous system
. Diabetes
. Psychiatric illness
. General health
. Cardiac health
. Medical practitioner details
You may be refused a provisional LGV driving licence if you suffer from any of the following;
. Liability to epilepsy / seizure
. Diabetes requiring insulin
. Eyesight defects, not meeting current eyesight standards
. Heart disorders
. High blood pressure (Persistent)
. A stroke within the last year
. Unconscious lapses within the last five years

. Severe head injury, with continuing after effects, or major brain surgery
. Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or other chronic nervous disorders.
. Mental disorders

Your completed medical form (D4) is then sent to the DVLA with your driving licence and application form (D2). You will normally receive your driving licence back in around 7-10 days. Enterprise will then book your theory test for a convenient time.
