Wendy Auger’s custom license plate, “PB4WEGO,” has sparked controversy. The playful reference to “Pee before we go” has been deemed potentially offensive by the DMV, which is demanding she surrender it.
A Lighthearted Gesture or Offense?
Auger’s 15-year-old plate has raised questions about free speech. Supporters argue it’s harmless, citing New Hampshire’s motto, “Live Free or Die.” Others see it as inappropriate due to DMV rules against depictions of bodily fluids.
A Fight for Expression
Auger jokingly said losing her plate “would just stink.” She’s passionate about keeping it, having seized the opportunity when character limits increased.
State Regulations
The DMV clarified that revised vanity plate regulations, made in response to a state Supreme Court order, are “very specific.” However, Auger’s registration is protected, and the state can’t comment directly.
The Verdict Awaits
As Auger awaits the state’s decision, she maintains, “Talking about peeing isn’t offensive.” Will she get to keep her plate, or will it be revoked? The outcome remains uncertain.
