I have been in touch with the DVLA and they inform me that these new forms will be issued much later in the year after appropriate guidance has been issued.
The 'new' D4 forms were sent out in error, by their supplier.
For the time being we can continue to do the vision testing, with the 6/7.5 included, but be aware of the future changes acoming!
Kind regards,
Mike

Hi
I have not seen the full thread of this but the new DVLA regs Group 2 entitlement states "where glasses are worn to meet the minimum standards they should have a corrective power < 8 dioptres". But grandfather rights need to be referred to.
I would imagine them employees would need to bring evidence, or evidence obtained from an optician to state the corrective power of their glasses in dioptres!!

Dear all, one of the companies that I work with queried the new requirement for the forms to be stamped by an optometrist, on Friday with the medical dept at DVLA and was told that those forms were part of a faulty batch!
Rgds,
Jeremy
