The sighting of a CZ-series plate in early December is a good bookend for 2014, and also signifies that it took 32 months for the first three letters of the alphabet to be run through. Remember, the letter-number combinations replaced all the 1997-2004 plates still on the roads, but now that there is a 10-year usage period the cycle won’t get any faster. The question to be answered, probably before spring, is: Will D be skipped as a first letter as it was the first time around?
A side note: Here and there, I have spotted first-run license plates that slipped through the cracks in county renewals. Ideally, any such bugs will get ironed out in the upcoming year.
