Recently I have noticed an alarming trend with license plates. I know it seems like any trend with license plates can't be all that alarming, but this is too much. I started noticing that every Georgia license plate I've seen (Chatham County and otherwise) that is a personal vehicle that does not begin with numbers either begins with an A or a B.
Not included:
The aforementioned plates that begin with numbers
City/state vehicles
Disabled plates + any other specialized plates
That sounds like a lot of exclusions but really, it's not. Back to the issue at hand, why do all of these plates begin with an A or a B? Why not any other letter? Why do other states have a complete range of letters?
Well I went to the DMV. Yeah, I did. I stood in line with all of the angrys in order to find out. And what did I find?
"What?! I don't know! What are you even talking about?"
"I mean personal vehicle plates in Georgia. All beginning with A and B."
"You don't have any other business here?"
"No."
"Next in line please."
That was my conversation at the DMV.
My next plan of attack was via the telephone where I might come off as less crazy. I called the state department of motor vehicles, which directed me to several other offices. I ended up calling all the DMVs in the county and I either got referred to another office or got the response of, "I don't know." Until I got this response:
"Oh, we're not authorized to discuss that information."
Oh. We're not authorized to discuss that information. I see. I see. What information? Why wouldn't they, people who work in the office of the DMV, not be authorized to discuss it?
I need to find out. Maybe there is a vast statewide (nationwide? worldwide?) conspiracy that I am on the brink of uncovering. Maybe this is the start of the sequel to All The President's Men. All I know is, I'm determined. If for anything to prevent me from obsessively scanning over license plates while I drive.
