Correct answer

  • ASí.Yes.
Explanation

For a vehicle with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg, the rules say that, in case of a puncture, the vehicle must carry one of these options: - A spare wheel, which can be normal or temporary-use, together with the tools needed to change it, or - an alternative system that keeps the vehicle mobile, for example run-flat tyres or systems that inflate automatically in case of a puncture. So a vehicle can carry a temporary-use spare wheel, but it is not compulsory, because it can be fitted with another alternative system that allows it to keep driving safely.
