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

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.

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

Of course there is no self interest in that 'recommendation' at all.
