I had to stretch to find an available configuration. People will either get it right away or never!
Note to CA peeps- when you have your tags and receive notification to pick up your personalized plates, you can go through the appointment holder line even if you don't have an appointment. I found out the long way by waiting in line for the DMV to open. The window dedicated for plate pick up does not use the number assignment/waiting system. At least at the main Sacramento location, the window has its own waiting area, no need to check in or pick up a number to be called.
