Correct answer

  • BNo, si se lleva un sistema alternativo que garantice la movilidad.No, if you carry an alternative system that keeps the vehicle mobile.
Explanation

The General Vehicle Regulations (RGV) require you to carry a complete spare wheel or a temporary-use spare wheel with its tools, or an alternative to changing the wheel that keeps the vehicle mobile, such as a puncture repair kit. With that alternative, the spare wheel is not compulsory.
