Correct answer

  • ANo, si dispone de un sistema alternativo al cambio de rueda.No, if it has an alternative system to changing the wheel.
Explanation

The General Vehicle Regulations allow the spare wheel to be replaced by an alternative to changing the wheel that keeps the vehicle mobile, such as a puncture repair kit or tyres that can be driven on when punctured. If none of these is carried, the spare wheel is compulsory.
