BDifficulty 2/5

A car uses a spare wheel as its provision for a puncture, with no alternative system. What must it carry to enable a wheel change?

Correct answer

carry the tools necessary for changing wheels.

The tools needed to change the wheel, under Annex XII of the General Vehicle Regulations. The spare may be full-size or temporary; it need not be exclusively temporary or immune to punctures. Follow the manual and do not change it in a dangerous location: request assistance if you cannot do it safely. The obligation should not be applied indiscriminately to every vehicle type.
