I wonder how many points and what level of fine is right here?
Doesn’t look it ,all 4 wheels to be strapped I believe .
I’m out of touch now, but the standard for us once wheel strapping replaced underbody (which was better imho) strapping, was all 4 corners needed securing, this could be by 2 locked-in-deck chocks butted up against two diagonally opposite wheels and wheelstraps on the other two or a combination of the above.
If you had a car right hanging off the back you’d utilise the built in chock and strap both back wheels tight to that, same at the front ie peak deck, not just for safety but you have to think of members of the public travelling behind seeing the car’s suspension moving about good practice is to make the job looks reassuring too.
Some makes and distribution operators had slightly different requirements.
Common sense in everything, a car ramped up steeply, ie the one tilted over the peak deck was only going one way in the event of a violent sudden stop or accident, so you’d fit 3 straps effectively restraining it uphill and one pulling it down to keep the others taught.
The one in the pic is asked for a pull, neither rear wheel as clearly seen by anyone secured.
Some of the foreign transporters who brought loads in would give you an eye opener, often only chocks in place

Two wheels (I’m assuming that the nearside are strapped in a similar fashion) on each car are strapped. A big no no., it needs all wheels strapping.
When I did roadworks recovery as we were invariably scooping them from a live lane it was deemed acceptable by the authorities to strap one wheel prior to moving to a place of safety, if the vehicle was to be moved any further we had to stop at said place of safety and strap the rest of the wheels.
It boils down to what we see here is an insecure load.
