Other than me and the missus, I can't think of anyone else in our immediate


family, who would have the vaguest notion how to put the spare wheel onto


their car. I would be surprised if they actually knew where to find it, or

driver, unless of course physically disabled from doing so, should have

that competency......


I can't agree with that, far too risky to have someone try to replace a car wheel perhaps 5 years after they've past their test, and onn a differnt car fromn their test car.
