Car is "locked" at traffic department

Hi

I have sold my car and went to the traffic department to do the change of ownership. I was told that my car is "locked" and that I need to go to the Industrial area to get this sorted. Has anyone had a similar experience? Do you know what this means and what would be the procedure to have it "unlocked"?

As above you have committed a violation that will probably cause you to leave your vehicle at the police site in the industrial area for 3 months - usually undercutting in a queue, which you only find out once you try to re-register or sell your vehicle - sorry old chap but looks like you got caught - 3 months is standard for this offence, it's a way of getting people to understand the rules

This is due to the traffic offence that you have done. You might be jumped and entered the traffic queue without patience and waiting which might be captured by the camera at the traffic junction.
