BIG AW:
In good ole days of piggy backing used rope never moved.
^^^ yep. Used to carry tractors and taxis etc on flats with rope hitch around the tyres. Basically a barrel hitch but longitudinal down the wagon ( & round the load/vehicles tyre).
Never had any move.
At least he’s attempted to strap it which is more than most bother to do…

BIG AW:
I would be more concerned about somebody taking photos while there driving
I wouldn’t.

i suppose as long as the handbrake is on its no different to carrying 26 unstrapped pallets in a curtainsider 
If fitted properly the straps should bite into the rubber of the tyres long before the metal buckles on the loop touches the wheel.
Agree with on or slightly above the centre line.
When I’ve done recovery I’ve always used the winch to hold the casualty vehicle aswell as straps and handbrake. Can’t really understand doing any less than that tbh.
I’ve also been known to ratchet strap the rear f the casualty vehicle from the tear towing eye. Or similar to the rear if the slide bed.
I agree it’s not ideal but I think it would be a lot harder to shake loose than it looks though. No idea why they don’t buy the wheel straps that are just stitched and looped at the ends.
SWEDISH BLUE:
At least all 4 wheels were strapped, 1 went past me on the M54 1 day with only 1 wheel strappedWhen I was doing motorway recovery, If it was busy, all I would strap was the FNS and then disappear. Next available safe location,then the rest got put on. And I would NEVER strap if I had to go to Live side
I used to do both nearside wheels and then proceed with caution to the nearest exit to strap the rest - but this wasn’t a recovery that had just happened, he was on the limiter passing me as I was passing a services.
He’s done it like that to stop the strap rubbing off the bodywork. Had the same problems moving cars on trailers.
