I’ve always thought it dumb that the nation’s most populous state only uses seven of the possible eight characters on a license plate. Most states only use seven, but a dash separating letters and numbers means there is actually room for eight characters and many states will allow you to use all eight for vanity plates.

The hyphen helps people remember partial plates, and you can look up a vehicle fairly easily with a partial plate, color, make, and/or model
T28-5U47 vs T285U47Y
Chances are you'll remember T28 or 5U47 more than T285U47Y.

It’ll be like Virginia where they just add on a character.
