Blimey, you're right, when did that change then?

Mind you, it does become a legal matter if you use it.

I don't think it ever did.

After all, it'd be legally dodgy if you were taking a fooked old bald
wheel & tyre to the tip - especially if you had no spare. Also, what
would the legal situation be after you'd swapped a flat?

I'd hope so - my car has no spare at all, which is surely "worse" than
having an "illegal" one.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember thewildrover(a)me.com (Andy Hewitt)
saying something like:

It's always been the case - perhaps sensibly (unlike now) the Law back
then didn't presume to do you for something you haven't done.

There's the nub of the matter. You can have a bootful of old baldies.

Not at all, you don't have to have a spare at all.
