What's you answer?

I've just been told that it's illegal *not* to have a spare tyre if you're driving on the motorway. It doesn't seem right to me, as I know of cars - like the Smart - that don't actually come with a spare tyre.

I haven't been able to find any reference to it myself, but I know many of you out there know more about cars than me. So -

...is it illegal to drive on a motorway without a spare tyre?

Yes, and that's true regardless of the road being travelled on. Your car will fail an MoT if the spare is not roadworthy - I assume because if you actually do need to use it you may be tempted, whereas if you've not got one at all you're not going anywhere.
