Every moving violation ticket issued pursuant to chapters 43 and 45 of this title shall constitute a lien on the title of the motor vehicle upon which said moving violation ticket was placed, which lien shall continue in existence until the moving violation ticket is either paid or discharged according to law. The Clerk of the Superior Court shall notify the registered owner of the vehicle of the establishment of the lien as well as any other registered lien upon the vehicle. For purposes of this section, notification of the registered owner at his last known address, whether or not received by the addressee, shall constitute legal notice. The Clerk of the Superior Court shall keep a registry of the liens created pursuant to this section, which shall be open to the public. The contents of said registry and updates thereto shall periodically be transmitted to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. No motor vehicle shall be registered and licensed pursuant to the provisions of chapter 33 of this title, nor shall a change of ownership be registered by the Director pursuant to said chapter 33, until all liens created pursuant to this section have been discharged.
