Do you need to renew or apply for your driver’s license and have doubts about the psychotechnical tests? At Semedi Salud Málaga, located in El Corte Inglés, we perform the complete medical and psychotechnical examination, quickly and without complications. Our process covers everything from the general medical evaluation to vision, hearing, coordination, and cognitive ability tests, all in accordance with DGT standards. In this guide, we explain each of the tests you will undergo, their purpose, estimated duration, and why Semedi Salud is your best option in Malaga to obtain this recognition with complete professionalism.
1. General medical examination
Before entering the specific tests, we perform a complete medical review that includes:
Cardiovascular Evaluation and General Condition
- Measurement of blood pressure and heart rate, to rule out conditions that may affect your ability behind the wheel.
- Review of your clinical history, medication, and possible chronic diseases.
2. Sensory tests
Visual Acuity and Field of Vision
- We evaluate your near and far vision, binocular vision, and visual field. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you should bring them to the test.
Auditory Evaluation
- Hearing test (sometimes using an audiometer) to verify that you perceive essential sounds while driving (sirens, horns, etc.).
3. Psychomotor tests: coordination and reflexes
Computerized Coordination Test
- We evaluate your eye-hand coordination and reaction time using devices with controls and screens that simulate real driving situations.
4. Cognitive and psychological evaluation
Attention, Concentration, and Reflexes
- Includes tests of attention, basic memory, and the ability to respond to visual or auditory stimuli. It is not usually an extensive exam, but it is necessary to assess your reaction capacity in road situations.
Brief Interview (when Applicable)
- In some cases, especially with professionals or older adults, a brief psychological evaluation is performed to review your emotional state, stress level, and habits related to driving safety.
5. Duration of the medical examination
At Semedi Salud, the entire process usually lasts between 15 and 25 minutes, depending on each patient. We offer speed, without long waits—including digital photo taking and signature—which speeds up your procedure before the DGT.
