Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

When towing a trailer, you do not have to carry a spare wheel for the trailer, but you do have to carry a fire extinguisher. In any case, with or without a trailer, you must always carry: - A hazard warning device (an amber, self-powered device, with batteries, placed on the highest possible part of the immobilised vehicle so that it is as visible as possible). - A spare wheel or temporary-use wheel (for the car) and the tools to change it. - A reflective vest.
