Driver medicals & D4 · HGV and PSV

Know who is due a medical, before they are overdue.

£1 per vehicle, per week

DDIR tracks every driver's D4, asks them the health questions on a schedule you set, and chases the ones who ignore it. Your managers see who is fit and who needs a second look — never the clinical answers underneath.

What the manager sees

Start with dates. Go further when you want to.

Three tiers, set in Company Settings. Tier A is the default and most operators begin there — no questionnaires, no driver emails, and no clinical data held at all.

Tier A

D4 dates only

A straight certificate tracker. Log the issue date, the expiry and who signed it off.

  • Expiry warnings before they lapse
  • No questionnaires sent to drivers
  • No clinical data stored anywhere
Tier BMost operators

D4 plus a short declaration

Everything in Tier A, plus seven yes/no questions once a year. About three minutes on the driver's phone, through a private link.

  • All “no” answers mark them fit automatically
  • A single “yes” goes to your medical reviewer
  • Covers medication, eyesight, sleep, illness, GP advice
Tier C

D4 plus the full Group 2 set

The structured DVLA Group 2 questionnaire across eight clinical categories, with follow-up questions where they are needed.

  • Cardiovascular, diabetes, neurological, sleep
  • Vision, mental health, substance, musculoskeletal
  • Every submission triaged by a reviewer

It chases them, so you do not have to

You set the interval — a year by default, anywhere from 90 days to five years. DDIR checks every night for who is due and starts asking. The part nobody enjoys is the part that runs on its own.

Day 0

The questionnaire lands in the driver's inbox as a private link.

Day 7

Still nothing back, so a first reminder goes out automatically.

Day 14

Final reminder to the driver, and now it appears on your dashboard as well.

Managers should not be reading medical histories

A transport manager needs to know whether a driver is fit to drive. They do not need to know what medication that driver is on. DDIR enforces that line rather than trusting people to look away.

Managers see the outcome — fit, fit with adjustments, needs review, not fit — and which categories were flagged. The answers themselves are visible only to the driver and to the people you specifically name as medical reviewers. It follows ICO guidance on handling workers' health information, which matters because this is special category data and the duty sits with you, not with us.

When a driver leaves

  • Every submitted assessment
  • Every raw clinical answer they gave
  • Audit entries tied to those assessments
  • Their whole medical profile

Held for the retention period you set — six years after they leave by default, in line with ICO guidance on employment records — then permanently deleted by a sweep that runs every Monday. You can also export a driver's medical data if they make a subject access request.

Built and run by working Transport Managers — the people who sit on operators' licences, do the DVSA audits and stand up at Public Inquiries.
