A mother from New Hampshire was surprised when officials ordered her to give up a vanity license plate she had used for over 15 years. The plate, reading “PB4WEGO,” was meant as a playful reminder for her children to use the bathroom before trips.

The owner, Wendy Auger, said the phrase was harmless and familiar to many parents. Over the years, it had drawn smiles and positive reactions from other drivers.

In 2019, however, the state DMV sent her a letter demanding she surrender the plate. Officials argued it violated rules banning references to bodily functions, despite its earlier approval.

Auger found the decision confusing, stressing that her message was lighthearted and not offensive. She shared the situation online, where it quickly gained widespread attention and support.

Many people defended the plate, calling it funny and relatable. Social media users shared similar parenting phrases and even joked about alternative plate ideas.

As the case gained publicity, Chris Sununu stepped in. He encouraged the DMV to reconsider, noting the phrase was widely understood as innocent.

Following his intervention, Auger was allowed to keep the plate. The incident highlighted how strict regulations can clash with everyday humor and showed how public support and common sense can influence decisions.
