Should I Send This Card Or Not?

Spare tyre do most motorists these days still have one on board their vehicle, or soley relient on a punture repair kit they may or may not have?
Spare tyre just post a yes or no.
TIA.
We have a space-saver which we've used 3 times in the life of the car; providing you have the correct pressure (60 psi in our case) they are perfectly satisfactory. The second time of use was in France when we got a hole in a sidewall; a repair kit would have been useless. We were 40 miles from the nearest town with a tyre dealer and it took them 2 days to get us a replacement (and they would only sell us two), so 160 miles on the space-saver with no problems.
Being honest I haven't driven myself for years, so unsure whether drivers still do take a spare with them or rely solely on the above mentioned punture repair kit.
Space saving tyres do seem a good idea but as I posted I don't drive now-days so haven't come across any.
Thank you for your replies, just proving a point that I'm sure most still do.
