Can I still undertake HGV training in Dumfries if I’m on medication?
The ability to become an HGV driver while taking medications depends on several factors, including the medications you are taking, their potential side effects, and how they may affect your ability to drive safely.
During the application process for an HGV licence, you may be asked to disclose any medical conditions and medications you are taking.
In many cases, taking medications alone may not automatically disqualify you from becoming an HGV driver. However, there are legal and safety considerations, including:
1. Medical Fitness: HGV drivers are required to meet certain medical standards to ensure they are fit to drive. The medical assessment will consider the impact of your medications on your ability to drive safely.
2. Medications and Side Effects: Some medications may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or other side effects that can impair your ability to drive safely. If your medications have such side effects, it could affect your eligibility to become an HGV driver.
3. Driver CPC Requirements: If you plan to drive HGVs professionally, you will need a Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence). As part of the Driver CPC, you will need to undergo regular medical examinations to ensure you remain medically fit to drive.
What are the requirements for HGV training in Dumfries?
Before applying for HGV training in Dumfries, you need to ensure you meet the requirements for each licence category. Some general essentials include:
- Holding a valid car licence
- Being fit to drive and pass essential medical assessments
- Being 18 years of age or older

Is driving an HGV more difficult than driving a car?
Even though they’re longer, taller, and heavier, HGV controls are similar to that of a car.
This means that the driving mechanics will be typically the same, however, due to the size and weight of this vehicle, the considerations on the road will differ.
However, with the help of knowledgeable instructors, our HGV driver training equips you with the skills and confidence required to handle articulated vehicles that are larger than a car.
