Wendy Auger, a mom of four from Rochester, New Hampshire, never expected her playful license plate to cause a stir—especially after 15 years. But in 2019, the state’s DMV told her to turn it in, claiming it referenced “sexual or excretory acts or functions.”
Her plate? “PB4WEGO”—a lighthearted reminder for her kids to “pee before we go.”
Wendy was stunned. “Who hasn’t told their kids that before leaving the house?” she said, adding that the phrase had become a family motto and source of constant smiles from strangers.
Despite the DMV’s ruling, Wendy stood her ground. She shared the letter and a photo of her plate on Facebook, where the post quickly went viral. Support poured in, with users calling the decision ridiculous and her plate both “funny and cute.”
Wendy joked, “I think ‘DMV SUX’ will be my next one—but I may get pulled over often.”
Thankfully, the story caught the attention of New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. He stepped in to overturn the DMV’s decision, personally calling Wendy to share the good news. “Common sense prevailed,” he said.
Wendy shared the happy update online with a victorious message: “This Sassy Momma Has Her Plates!!!”
