This was me a few weeks ago, left work went trundling up the a444 to the Rico, then back down the a444 to pick my son up from work, lucky for me it popped 2 mins from his work so I managed to limp along to his car park then had to wait 3 hours for the RAC as it was a Friday afternoon in the rush hour and they were busy  |

My car came with tyre weld and a compressor but a tyre place told me that tyre weld is not good for punctures near the side wall. I spent £100 on a space saver spare wheel and I feel a lot safer with it. |

Exactly, it was useless as mine had blew out the side |

You know that's illegal right?
Technically if the fuzz stop and you have no means to replace a flat tyre you could get points, same way a flat or bald spare could result in an MOT failure. |

Not a legal requirement
Quite a lot of cars don’t come with spares. BMW don’t supply |

Having a spare is not a legal requirement. Lot of new cars Don't come with a spare unless you order it at the time you buy the car. It is due to weight and fuel economy so is an option.
If you have a spare that is either flat or bald it would likely fail MOT. If you took said spare tire out left it at home then no MOT failure |

Wrong, not endorsable at all. Spare isn't part of the mot either. |
