A Taxi Driver Medical test is a mandatory examination that verifies your physical and mental fitness to safely operate a taxi or private hire vehicle. It’s essentially a health check to ensure you can handle the demands of the job, which involve long hours, potentially stressful situations, and quick decision-making in various traffic conditions.
Anyone who wants to obtain a taxi driver licence or private hire vehicle (PHV) licence needs to undergo a Taxi Driver Medical Assessment. This includes: 1. New applicants 2. Existing licence holders
It typically includes physical checks, medical history reviews, and mental health assessments.
The frequency depends on your age and local regulations:
New applicants: Required before initial licence application.
Renewal:
Under 45: May not require a new assessment if no medical changes are reported.
45+: Often requires new assessments every 3-5 years.
Always check your local authority for specific requirements.
Medical changes: Any significant change in your health may trigger a new assessment regardless of age or renewal date.
If you don’t meet the fitness standards, the outcome will vary depending on the reason for failing: Minor concerns: The doctor might recommend further tests or consultations with specialists before issuing a certificate. More serious concerns: You might be temporarily disqualified from driving, with the need for additional tests or treatment before reapplying. Appealing a decision: You may have the right to appeal the decision, depending on your local regulations.
