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?

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.

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.
