    I think you might be ok on the CPC theory test front but you might have to do the practical part of the CPC along with the actual driving test.

    But tbh I can't be certain on the matter. I was actually wondering about this myself over the summer as I was also doing my EC test but no one had a definitive answer, not even my instructor. It may turn out that you don't have to do any extra tests at all.

    You're definitely covered for the C category - but did you tick the EC category box on the original medical report form as well? If yes you're fine, if not you will need to go back to the doctor for another (make sure to tick the EC1 category as well).


    Congrats on passing the rigid test btw.;)

    Medical covers them all. I only did it when I was going for the C and not for EC. Then when I renewed my licence I got a permit for D without submitting any medical, apart from the renewal medical I'd already submitted for C, EC.

    Well I certainly wasn't that fortunate. I only had C ticked for my report and my initial attempt to go for an EC learner permit was rejected. Hence I had to go back and get it done again with the EC box filled in on the form as well.

    Even the C1 category was blank on my new rigid drivers licence but when I passed the EC test it appeared on the newer licence. Simply because when I submitted the second medical with all categories ticked by the doctor instead of the just the one.

    That was my own personal experience of the enforcement of medical report rules at any rate.
