defect on a real wheel carrier

I got a fine and four points but no defect for having a ladder over my number plate on my 110. I went to court over it and got off the fine and points. Since I have stuck a nsw bike rack number plate on the front of the ladder and left the original number plate in place. I also had to illuminate the bike rack number plate to keep it legal.
So if you have the energy to pursue it you may have a good chance to get off in court.

This isn't Jason's car, and I don't have pics from all angles, but it is the same wheel carrier on another 130.

I think the rule says, 'clearly visible.... at a 45 degree angle.... at a distance of 20 metres'. Also, we can't take defect notices to Court - it's not a penalty notice (fine), so the Court has no jurisdiction over it being issued, or it's outcome.

Just out of interest’s sake. Does anybody know the implications of receiving a ‘defect notice’ when traveling interstate? Ie Victoria registered vehicle receiving a notice in Queensland, visa verse etc, etc?
