While road tripping through Colorado, I noticed that a lot of modern (most recent design revision) Colorado license plates...
...had Q on them. Counting 100 plates, 49 did not have Q, 51 did. Q is an odd letter to be on more than 50% of all license plates. Why is this?
Best Answer
The reason is that from 2013 till 2015, number plates in Colorado were issued in sequential order; from 001-AAQ all the way till 999-ZZQ.
From mid-2015 onwards, common sense prevailed and random combination of letters and numbers were used :-)
