Medical
To drive a hackney carriage or private hire vehicle, you must be physically able to perform the duties of a licensed driver. This may involve lifting heavy objects such as luggage and wheelchairs.
To decide whether you are fit to drive a hackney carriage or private hire vehicle, you must undergo a medical examination with your own GP, or another doctor. This examination will be carried out at your own expense.
Once you pass the knowledge test you will be given a medical form for your GP or other doctor to complete. Once complete you will need to return this to our licensing team.
