I really don't understand the comment regarding not carrying a sapar

tyres still puncture..

The rationale is - as I discovered on pulling over to help a woman with
a puncture - that very few people actually are capable of changing a wheel.

They call the AA etc.

Who will truck the car to a tyre repair place, or fit one on the spot or
whatever.



e.g.

https://tyres.theaa.com/tyre-advice/...age/punctures/


where they recommend you don't fit a spare wheel at all, as its too
dangerous by and large etc etc...

Not really, it links to this
http://www.theaa.com/breakdown-cover...flat-tyre.html
which is good advice, consistent with today's litigious culture.


It fails to mention that if you squirt the "gunk" that's provided
instead of a spare into the tyre, most tyre places wont repair the
puncture.
