In my country, an O and a 0 count as the same letter/digit on a licence plate. Same with B and 8. I think there’s a few others. There are no two plates that only have the difference of these similar characters, the use of one counts as the other.
I’m finding it hard to explain, but I hope that makes sense.
Are they seriously nursing both 0 and O on their license plates? I guess they’re also using I l and 1?
I’m guessing that they have quite a few more problems with misidentification
FFS, use base53 and be done with the problem

There’s someone around my area that has a license plate similar to this: “I1I1l1II” 😹 it’s hilarious
They’re probably just using the cheapest OCR to capture the plates.
Edit: it seems this is unrelated to the error, but I stand by this statement.
