Further Information About the Tests.

Step one:   You will need a drivers medical by a doctor who will verify that you are fit to drive and then complete a D4 form which you will send off along with a D2 form to apply for your provisional licence.

Your own GP can do this for you, or there are private medical companies that can sometimes be a cheaper and more convenient option.

You can order D2/D4 Pack from the DVLA here. Or we can supply you with them.

Once you have your provisional licence contact us for more information on how to move forward with your training.
