IS IT WORTH HAVING A SPAIR WHEEL ON A 4X4

I think if you read through the very small print in the AA terms and conditions, A puncture callout to a car which doesn't have a spare wheel is chargeable

So where does that leave people who buy cars that do not have spare wheels some makers just give an aerosol with sealer in it would they be charged

I cant beleive people are concerned about fuel for just carrying a spare,you need to change your car if its that mutch of an issue a 4x4 the wrong motor.Plus dont give any fat mates a lift.Personally a spare should be compulsary and stop these penny pinching car dealers charging extra.In some countries in europe its compulsary to carry lots of spares like a full set of bulbs,first aid kit,hi viz,warning triangle ect.

Not so the RAC and Green flag, i asked about this when traveling home when being recovered with a electrical fult on the sprinter a couple of years ago, the RAC bloke said if you take the spare wheel bracket off the tailgate or remove the cage from underneath you are exempt from a charge if the truck was originaly fitted with a spare or not.

Modern cars need repair kit and it needs to be complete.
