What do I have to do to get a HGV drivers licence?

D4 Medical & D2 application

The first Step to becoming a LGV driver is by doing a medical.

You can do this with your own doctor and they will test multiple things to ensure that you are fit to driver a HGV/ PCV vehicle.

These include things like Eye sight test and seeing what medication you are on 

The other thing you would have to do is to do a D2 application form.

A D2 application form is for you to apply for your provisional entitlement to drive a LGV/PCV vehicle.

Once there are done you can then send them to the DVLA where they will add the entitlements to your licence 

Theory tests: Module 1a,1b & module 2

After you get your licence back from the DVLA you can then start revising ready for your theory tests. Underneath explains what each module of the theory test means: 

Module 1a is your multiple choice test 

Module 1b is your Hazard perception test

Module 2 is your CPC (Driver Certificate of Professional Competence) case studies test

 Once these are done you can then move to the next Module 

Module 3a & 3b
