Urine sample for the LGV medical

Told to use the specimen bottle on the day of the test,but you can get a mate to wee in it,if you were not honest,if you knew you may fail the test,how does that work.?Told to use it at home and not at the doctors?

I think you would know if you had diabetes Toby, it isn’t a drugs test.

Do they trust the drivers to provide an honest sample? :question:

Will i pass with a cider sample?

Had to give a urine sample for a drugs and alcohol test for Gatwick airport last week. The nurse comes into the cubicle with you and checks that YOU give a sample.
The container thingie also gives temperature reading so they will know if its fresh or not!

i went for a medical(not hgv)when i got a new job about 8 years back…i was asked for a urine sample so i went and peed in the bottle and the doc checked it with a test strip and told me to see my gp as i had a high glucose level…my gp told me i had type 2 diabetes(which is now controlled with tablets)…i had no symptoms and no idea i had it till then.

They only make you pee in a bottle to see if you can do nights out :wink:

Get the wife do the sample and look at the doctors face when he finds out your pregnant.

The above actually happened to a racing cyclist.The officials let him line up and told him why he was being withdrawn,over the tannoy.

I took one with me but the doctor made me go in the loo to do another one. she waited outside the door.

Wish she had come in she was a georgous blonde german doctor. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I’ve had 3 lgv medicals now and the most I’ve got out of the doctor is " how are you feeling", I say fine he fills in the form. They do take the pi$$ with the cost though, £60 first time, £90 last time.
