Question 5400

In a passenger car, if you do not have the tools to change a wheel in case of a flat tire, what are you required to carry?

  1. A temporary-use spare wheel.
  2. An alternative to changing a wheel, such as a tire repair kit.
  3. You are not required to carry anything.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: An alternative to changing a wheel, such as a tire repair kit.

If you do not carry tools to change a wheel, your remaining option is an alternative system, such as the tire repair kit in the picture, with its compressor and bottle of sealant. Full-size and temporary-use spare wheels need tools to install them, so without those tools they do not meet the requirement. You cannot go without anything, because a passenger car must carry one of the three solutions.
