After 15 years of driving with the “PB4WEGO” vanity plates, Rochester resident Wendy Auger was ordered by the New Hampshire DMV to surrender them.
The plates, encouraging kids to “pee before we go,” were flagged for inappropriate sexual or excretory connotations under state guidelines.
Auger shared official correspondence and her disappointment on Facebook, where supporters defended the plates as both cute and practical reminders.

With public pressure mounting, including viral social media posts, Governor Chris Sununu overturned the DMV decision, calling it a bureaucratic error.
This incident sparked widespread commentary on how authorities interpret language and humor in regulating personalized plates.
