Towing and licences after 70

The D4 does not need to be completed by your particular GP.  There are commercial operation that exist just to do these medicals which are required by bus and lorry drivers.  They charge around £30 and it takes very little time at all. 

If you wear contact lenses go equiped to take them out for the eye test bit. 

Since I wish to retain my full bus and lorry entitlement I have to have one evey year now.  For anyone retaining just minimum entitlement it is every three years.

 InaD ,,Hi ,with reference to the costs of a medical for your licence upgrade ,,look at "doctors on wheels" on line for your area.

My recent medical using them was £53.00 . .

Thanks for that.  I had read something about that before, but was under the impression that, as they don't hold any medical records, there are certain things which they have to check with your own GP about, and which in turn could delay the whole process.

I have been trying to get my mind around this as well. When I reached 70 I relinquished my C1 licence and now have a BE licence. Going by the info from the Club in TW's link up thread it seems that if I wanted to tow a car I could, without a medical,  as my motorhome has a maximum weight of 3500kgs.

That’s my understanding, David, but I was urging the OP to make her own checks because the rules are both illogical and a minefield.

Perhaps Camperval will let us know her findings in due course.
