is it illegal not to carry a spare wheel? i took mine out ages ago and just recently i heard about sum1 getttin a point for it, he was also speeding, had neon washers, fog lights, and huge sunstrip but thats not the point really. i didnt think there was a law against this coz surely its up 2 u if u carry one or not....

it is not a legal requirement to carry a spare wheel... just common sense... lol.

smart cars don't even come with a spare wheel - you just phoen a number up andf they come out and change your wheel completely for you... giving you a new one and taking the other one away... quite handy if you kerb your alloy. :D

Not legal to carry one but if you do carry one it must be a legal tyre.

It's not illegal not to have a spare tyre, but if you do have one, the tread must be within the legal requirements.

Best of with tyreweld anyway (asp. if you have large alloys/low profile tyres).

this wasn't at the same time but i agree. Use tyre weld stuff. Your car will also be lighter without a spare

if you do fit catapillar tracks you can also get out of traffic jams by running over other cars.
