My mate is going for a medical before starting to train to become HGV qualified, will they take blood?

Exactly. If he wants to be a wagon driver that shouldn't even be an issue
Of course could be barking up the wrong tree here, the guy might not like needles or something.... fair question in that case.
Drugs and trucks don't mix though if that is the reason for asking...

on a seperate noet, did you know that if you get done for drink driving they take away your hgv/pcv part of the license for good?
back to the point in question, urine samples, all the normal tests, but no bloods when i did mine back in 2000 as well
