GDL and Driving Licence Health Examination
Examinations for the GDL vocational driving licence, including renewal. Open 24 hours, suitable for drivers who get back late.
Quick answer
Goods vehicle drivers need a health examination as part of the application and renewal of the GDL vocational driving licence. The examination covers a doctor assessment of the things that can affect driving safety, such as vision, blood pressure, blood sugar and conditions that cause drowsiness. The clinic is open 24 hours, so drivers do not have to give up a working day.

The ability to see is the basis of driving safety. Bring your glasses if you wear them.
Blood pressure
Uncontrolled blood pressure is something that is often found at this examination.
Blood sugar
Uncontrolled diabetes can affect awareness while driving.
Sleep problems and drowsiness
Severe daytime sleepiness is a safety risk that should be discussed honestly.
Hearing

- Existing driving licence
- The examination form, if the authorities or the employer give a specific form
- Glasses or contact lenses if you use them
- A list of the medication you are taking

If a problem is found
This examination sometimes finds high blood pressure or high sugar that had not been noticed. That is in fact the greatest benefit of the examination, even though it feels inconvenient at the time.
The doctor will explain what it means and what needs to be done. In many cases the condition can be controlled and the examination repeated afterwards.
We will not certify something we have not examined. If the results show that you are not yet eligible, the doctor will say so plainly and explain the route to becoming eligible.
For transport companies
If your company has several drivers who need examining or who are renewing their licences, contact the clinic to arrange the queue.
The clinic also accepts panel applications from employers around Jenjarom, Telok Panglima Garang, Banting and Bandar Saujana Putra. The 24-hour hours suit transport operations that run outside office hours.
