In the world of vanity license plates, creativity knows no bounds – or so it seems. Wendy Auger, a New Hampshire bartender, found herself at the center of a controversy surrounding her personalized plate, “PB4WEGO,” which she had proudly displayed for 15 years.
The state’s sudden rejection of her plate has sparked a heated debate about freedom of speech and the limits of self-expression.
Auger’s plate, which she believes is a harmless phrase offering practical advice, has been deemed offensive by the DMV. She argues that the state is infringing on her right to freedom of speech, a fundamental principle of American democracy.
The plate’s message, “pee before we go,” is a common reminder parents give to their children, making Auger’s case even more compelling.
