Answer

No, in fact many manufacturers now provide tyre sealant and an inflation kits instead. However, these are only intended as a short term temporary solution, you must get your tyre repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

Some manufacturers provide a space saver or temporary spare wheel – these will usually have a number of restrictions e.g. you can't exceed 50mph and/or you may only be able to use them on the front or rear of the vehicle. If you do have to fit a space saver bear in mind that your vehicle's handling will be very different and you should aim to get a proper wheel back on the vehicle as soon as possible.

If you have any doubts about the equipment your vehicle has to deal with a puncture, consult your vehicle's handbook or an approved dealer.

Answer

It is much easier to steal a mobile phone when it is in use or on display. When you are using your mobile phone in a public place try and be aware of your surroundings and anyone that is perhaps stood close to you. In order to help prevent theft of your mobile phone keep it in a secure place on your person or in your bag.

You should keep your contract or mobile phone box with the IMEI/serial number on it, in a safe place as the police will need to see evidence that you owned the phone, in the event that it is stolen. The contract or box are the only means of evidence the police will accept. A recent bill or delivery note will not be sufficient.

The IMEI/serial number on your phone is a number that is unique to your mobile phone. To find out what your IMEI number is type *#06# into your phone.

You can also protectively mark your mobile phone.

Modern slavery is considered a serious crime in the UK. It can take many forms, including human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, slavery, sexual exploitation and criminal exploitation. The following are examples of modern slavery:

  • Being forced to work and being paid very little, in particular below the minimum wage.
  • Being forced to work long hours doing physical labour.
  • Being controlled through fear, mental abuse and repeated physical violence.
  • Being forced to commit crimes.
  • Being sexually exploited.
  • Being exploited by a partner, relatives or other persons.
  • Being forced to marry without consent.
  • Having a passport taken away from you.
  • Being brought to the UK to work and/or being moved to different parts of the country on a regular basis.

If you know someone who you believe may be a victim of modern slavery, or you feel you may be a victim yourself, you should report the abuse to your local police force.

You can also contact the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700 or the Salvation Army Modern Slavery Human Trafficking Helpline on 0300 303 8151 for assistance.
