If I wanted to drive an HGV tractor unit not for commercial use is there anything else I would need other than part 1 & 3 as detailed in the below link. Also do any of the environmental laws surrounding the vehicles apply in the same situation?

Who doesn’t need the full Driver CPC
You don’t need the full Driver CPC if you:

don’t want to drive for a living, for example you want to drive for a hobby or carry passengers or goods non-commercially for personal use
drive in other certain situations, such as taking your vehicle for a pre-booked annual test (MOT)
You still need to pass the part 1 (theory) and part 3 (driving ability) tests of the qualification.
Thanks

Thanks all, my d/l was first issued after 2000 so will have to take the test as the back only goes to B.

Does environmental laws apply if it's something just for shows? Would rather not remove the 5th wheel if I could just stick the notice mentioned above, would do it though if it would make it easier for the relevant authorities.
