I bought a new car and I couldn't figure out if my license plate has the digit '0' or the letter 'O', so I added both versions to my FasTrak to check which license plate would get charged. It took 4 days after crossing the toll to finally see the charge on my account.

I was about to say "there is no letter O, only number 0" but Wikipedia [0] mentions that California does have both. You can deduce which character it is based on position:
> California currently only uses I, O, and Q in between two other letters, for example "1AQA000".[citation needed]
