A lorry of 3,500 kg MAM carries a regulatory alternative to changing a wheel. Must it additionally carry a full-size spare wheel?

Correct answer

No, a suitable regulatory alternative is allowed.

No. The equipment rule permits a full-size spare, a temporary-use spare with the necessary tools, or an alternative system providing sufficient guarantees of mobility. It does not require all these options simultaneously. Obey the chosen alternative’s use limitations and ensure it suits the vehicle.
