I was given a ticket today for "Drive Motor Vehicle - Plate Improperly Displayed", Contrary to HTA 7(1)b(i). Now I don't really agree with the officer's opinion regarding the visibility of my plate.
This is the actual FE I have on my bike:

The actual plate location is very similar to as shown in this picture:

I have two questions that I would like to get feedback:
1) Do you think the plate location is really an issue?
2) I might end up taking this to trial, on what grounds can I challenge this charge?
More Legal reference Info:
