You could probably make a case against car license plates too!
At one time, you could get used to the pattern in a state. which
facilitated reading quickly. It's much more complicated now in
my state of MD. We have ABC123, 1AB C23, 123M456, M12345, vanity
plates, private organizational plates like UMD 1234 and I don't
know what else. They don't even issue new plates unless you ask
for them or, sometimes, buy a new car but it's a healthy hunk of
change each year for the little plastic sticker!
