A mother of four was shocked when New Hampshire’s DMV told her she had to give up the vanity plates she had for 15 years.
The plates were a playful reminder to her sons to use the bathroom before getting in the car. However, the DMV didn’t see it that way and decided the plates referred to “sexual or excretory acts.”
In 2019, Wendy Auger from Rochester, New Hampshire, was told by the DMV to turn in her vanity license plate after using it for 15 years.
“It would be a real shame if I lose it,” said Wendy, who often gets compliments on her funny plates.
Referencing the state’s motto, “Live free or die,” she added, “If I have to take it off, then I won’t be able to live free.”
Her plates read “PB4WEGO,” reminding her kids to “pee before we go” before getting in the car.
“What parent hasn’t said that to their kids before leaving the house?” she asks. “I’m not one to protest, but this is just ridiculous.”
However, the DMV sent her a letter saying the plates needed to be turned in because they believe the letters refer to “sexual or excretory acts.”
“I’m not a political activist,” she tells CNN. “But this plate isn’t offensive. It’s part of our family and who I am, and there was no reason for them to take it away.”
At the time, Auger had 10 days to return her plate and was allowed to pick another custom plate for free.
After getting the letter, she posted it on Facebook with photos of her plates.
Her post quickly went viral.
One person commented on Auger’s social media page, saying, “This is so ridiculous… It’s funny and cute, and it’s a great reminder!” Another person wrote, “What’s going on?! You’ve had that plate FOREVER.”
A third person suggested, “Maybe it should say Pee or Pay…??? lol”
Responding to those who encouraged her to fight the decision, Auger joked, “Live free or die my arse,” and added, “I might get a plate that says ‘dmv sux,’ but I might get pulled over a lot!”
Her post gained a lot of attention on social media and eventually caught the eye of New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. He sent her a message saying: “Hey Wendy, it’s Chris Sununu. Just wanted to let you know we fixed that issue. Sorry for the mix-up and the delay, but common sense won out in the end.”
On August 28, 2019, Auger shared a new Facebook message, announcing her victory.
“This Sassy Momma Has Her Plates!!!,” writes Auger.

WATCH – Jill Biden : What they’re subjecting Hunter to is severe and ungallant
Jill Biden, America’s First Lady, while in conversation on the renowned news network MSNBC, expressed her sentiments on the harsh criti cism her son, Hunter Biden, is facing in the House of Representatives, citing her disagreement with the manner of the probes.
What they’re subjecting Hunter to is severe and ungallant, she stated with evident soiicitude.
She championed Hunter’s resilience after dealing with a personal battle with substance abu se, affirming her pride in the strength he has shown during his recovery.
Hunter’s journey to rebuild his life from the ruins of addiction is something I deepIy admire and makes me feel proud. As a mother, it pains me to see my son under such scrutiny, a sentiment shared by his children, my grandchildren, confided the First Lady.
This dialogue emerged when MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski raised the issue, which she depicted as an unrelenting fascination with Hunter Biden’s life. The House of Representatives Judiciary and Oversight Committees are currently contempIating a resolution that suggests Hunter Biden should face charges of contempt of Congress.
The conversation took a wider turn when they discussed the current political climate; the First Lady was prompted to share her viewpoint on recent defamatory nicknames/memes thrown at the Biden family, such as referring to them as the ‘Biden Crime Family’ or the infamous ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ jibe.
In response, she didn’t seem rattled but rather amused.
