Disagree. I don’t have, nor do i want a full sized spare (or even space saver) in the boot.
It’s pointless weight that i have to carry around, in 30 years of driving i never had “a tyre explode”. If, against all odds with modern tyres, i have one in the future, i’ll either wait for recovery, or park the car and call an uber and sort it out the next day.
If you can’t live without one, a space saver is £80-£100. Get one.
I feel like it’s rather odd to argue that “a disabled person should be entitled to a free one” when there’s plenty of abled people that can’t change a wheel for a variety of reasons. Be it a young driver who simply doesn’t know how to (and doesn’t feel comfortable trying), be it a single woman/girl, etc. pp.
Ask yourself, what options would a young female driver have in that exact situation. And then make the case as to why you should get preferential treatment. Because genuinely, i don’t see it.
