Question 4120

May a truck with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,500 kilograms carry a temporary-use spare wheel?

  1. Yes.
  2. No, because only passenger cars may carry this type of wheel as a spare.
  3. No, it is required to carry a full-size wheel.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. With a maximum authorized mass of 3,500 kg or less, a truck, like a passenger car, may carry a full-size spare wheel, a temporary-use spare wheel with the tools to change it, or an alternative system. At exactly 3,500 kg, it still falls into this group, and temporary-use spare wheels are not just for passenger cars.
