Correct answer

  • ANo, si lleva un sistema alternativo para el cambio de ruedas.No, if it carries an alternative system to changing the wheel.
Explanation

The General Vehicle Regulations require cars to carry a complete spare wheel or a temporary-use spare wheel with its tools, or an alternative to changing the wheel, such as a puncture repair kit or tyres that can be driven on when punctured. With that alternative, the spare wheel is not compulsory.
