Wendy Auger, a mother of four from New Hampshire, was shocked when the DMV demanded she surrender her 15-year-old vanity plates, “PB4WEGO,” which remind her kids to “pee before we go.” The DMV claimed the plates referenced “sexual or excretory acts or functions.”
Auger shared the recall letter on Facebook, where it quickly went viral. Social media users defended her, calling the plate funny and harmless.
The controversy reached Governor Chris Sununu, who overturned the DMV’s ruling. On August 28, 2019, Auger celebrated on Facebook: she could keep her beloved plates.
