If a spare tire is required to pass a safety then the ability to change a tire should be required to pass a driving exam.

this is the back of the SSC.

you are correct in stating that without a car running, you cannot check power assisted brakes.

however, not all cars have power assisted brakes.
i can name a ******** of cars that dont have power steering or power brakes.

just as it states that for motorcycles, you must check the chain and guards.

not all bikes have chains, do they ? lol

you can pass a safety without a motor

How do you test the neutral starting switch without an engine?

Thanks ... seen that lots of times when signing safeties. That is the check list not the standards. The brakes must function to bring the vehicle to a stop. Unless you have a hill to roll it down it's not happening.

You can get a safety signed without a lot of things in place. Doesn't make it correct.

I signed my first safety cert over 20 years ago and have kept up to date with requiremenst (haven't changed much). Spare tire is not requried.
I've never seen a vehicle without an engine in for a safety, why would you?? No motive power to accelerate the vehicle and check brake operation. Theoretically no power to run accesoris like rear window defroster, front w/shield wipers, headlights, turn signals, etc....

battery power for everything you named.

btw,you dont have to move a car to see if the brakes work. you can check brakes on the hoist.

just sayin..

no, you dont need a spare tire to pass a safety,.

pretty sure you dont even need an engine., as crazy as that sounds

Thanks for clearing THAT up.
