It is not a legal requirement. Most LGVs do not carry spares for several reasons: amongst others it decreases the nett (payload) weight of the vehicle, in some cases 3 different wheels and tyre types would be needed, there are serious health, safety and insurance issues involved.

No as many LGV have 2 different sizes of wheel and also the inner and outer wheel of any 4 wheel axle are physically different.

A lot of companies find it cheaper to send a tyre repair service out to a puncture than to let each vehicle carry a spare.

<> Just because something it legal doesn't mean it's right. <> There's a reason you can't spell 'assume' without '***'. People who assume too much end up making asses of themselves. < murder, how come?>> Doesn't make sense, does it - and yet, there you are advocating people merely ASSUME the government is right! <> WRONG! <> Ad hominem attacks hurt your credibility. Perhaps Marc, like me, doesn't see too much in the way of credibility when reading your question. < is NOT murder.>> The term "fetus" literally means "the young in the womb". The fetus IS a living human being. Life begins at conception, not birth nor some arbitrary point in between. Therefore, every abortion constitutes the murder of an unborn human being. <> But the fetus IS human. Therefore, abortion IS murder. < and stupid imagination.>> What's so narrow minded about acknowledging the unborn for the living human beings they are? Since you're unable to do that, wouldn't that suggest your mind is in fact more narrow than mine? < person NOT two.>> That just goes to show how schizophrenic human institutions can be - and you want to ASSUME such an institution (the government) is right.

I am sure it must be it is comman sense for every one to carry one but larger viacles may need more than one ??
