Temporary permit on purchase of trailer

Question

I have purchased a brand new trailer from Makro and i cannot lisence it as all of the licensing departments are closed over this time and only open again on the 4th jan 2010. I will be going on holiday with the trailer. I went to the police station and filled in an afridavit to say that i Purchased the trailer and that i am in posession of the paper work and that i will licence it as soon as i return. Is this ok?

Answer

The seller should have provided you with a temporary permit that is valid for 30 days.
