Show answer

Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

The law allows vehicles to carry a temporary-use wheel as part of their equipment. These wheels are smaller and lighter, which makes them easier to handle and store in the vehicle. However, remember that these wheels have speed and distance limits, so they must be replaced with a normal wheel as soon as possible.
