BDifficulty 2/5

Are all vehicles required to carry tools for changing a wheel?

Correct answer

No; it depends on the vehicle and whether it carries a wheel with tools or an adequate alternative system.

Not every vehicle must carry wheel-changing tools. Annex XII requires passenger cars, and mixed-use and goods motor vehicles with a maximum authorised mass not exceeding 3,500 kg, excluding three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles, to have a spare or temporary-use wheel with tools, or an alternative system offering sufficient mobility guarantees. An adequate alternative means a wheel and tools are not the only permitted solution.
