What is a Taxi Driver Medical

A taxi driver medical is a health check that is compulsory to every person who wants to apply or renew a licence of a private hire or hack hire in the UK. Also commonly known as a D4 medical examination, this taxi driver medical assessment is used to ensure that taxi drivers are healthy and safe to drive as a professional driver.

The evaluation is done based on the official taxi medical form and correlated with data of GP medical records and local council licensing requirements. This medical for taxi drivers provides verified evidence of fitness to drive in accordance with DVLA Group 2 medical standards. Completing a medical test for taxi driver licensing is a legal requirement and plays a vital role in safeguarding both drivers and passengers.
