“While going through his mail, Kelly Anderson of Salt Lake City recently discovered the personalized license plate on his 1978 Jeep for seven years was being recalled by the state Division of Motor Vehicles.

Why? The license plate bears just one letter: “X.” The DMV says that violates a state rule against plates “with combinations of letters associated with illicit drugs.”

Tax Commission spokesman Charlie Roberts says the license was revoked because the letter X is commonly used as a street name for the illegal drug ecstasy.”
