The PCV medical for bus and coach drivers, completed to the DVLA Group 2 standard by a registered GP in a 30-minute appointment.
Driver medicals
A PCV medical is the DVLA Group 2 standard, the same examination as a D4. The doctor checks your vision on the Snellen chart, your blood pressure, a urine dipstick, and your heart, chest, nervous system and general fitness, then completes and signs your D4 form.
You do not need your own GP for this, and full records are not required, though a GP summary helps if your history is complex.
