Paid medical

ST1980:
So I’ve gone ahead and booked medical with NEDS for 6th November as I can only do a weekend appointment. Cost was £50. I checked out D4Drivers but dates for my closest location was December. Thanks for the suggestions.

One other thing. I wear lenses/glasses. I haven’t had a recent eye test for a few years as I buy my lenses online. I understand I’ll have to do the eye test both with and without my glasses or lenses at the medical. The info in my confirmation email asks to bring an optical prescription but I don’t have anything (on paper) to show. Will this be a problem as they’ll be testing my eyesight anyway? Or will I have to take an eye test elsewhere and ask for an updated prescription just to provide it at the medical?

Thanks again

When I did my renewal a couple of years ago with a D4 medicals doctor in a hotel, the doctor barely looked at me. Asked me height / weight didn’t do an eye test, did the blood pressure and that’s about it. Fat lazy form filler, ironically although it took the ■■■■ they didn’t take a sample either.

I wear glasses, have the 01 card on my licence but wasn’t asked for a prescription.
