Possibly an idiot question, but hey ho....

[Steviesam]

I will be doing my Class 2 LGV test this year.

I am pretty clear on the process, apart from the CPC section.

I will not be driving for work, nor carry anything other than horses to events (which maybe more than 62 miles away).

Do I need CPC?

[rallye101]

Are you getting paid to do this or are they your own horses?

[Steviesam]

They are a friends horses, so I will not get paid.

I am doing it as I like them, so just a favour occasionally and to help oy on longer journeys, so they dont have to pull over-we can just swap drivers.

The Government said:

You don’t need Driver CPC if you:

don’t want to drive for a living, for example, you want to drive for a hobby

[Steviesam]

Thanks-I did see that

But another section says you don't need one if you are "driving within 62 miles (100 kilometres) of your base - but the vehicle can’t be carrying passengers or goods, and driving a lorry, bus or coach can’t be your main job"

I will be going more than 62 miles, but not getting paid.

hence my confusion.

[Mammasaid]

Doesn't apply as you're not driving as part of your job.

[Steviesam]

Perfect! Thank you for the help.

Can you take a CatC test without DCPC?

Yes, you only need it to drive commercially.

[GC8]

Yes, I know that: my point was that I hadnt seen any trainers offering C without DCPC.

[shovelheadrob]

I took C1E without having to do any CPC as I'm not going to be using it commercially

[GC8]

Did you go straight to C1+E from a grandfathered C1 entitlement?
