Personalized license plates are a great way for car owners to flaunt their individuality. For a slightly higher price, those who are willing to invest can design custom license plates that feature unique text or a combination of letters and numbers. People can express themselves creatively and in a playful way with these vanity plates. However, there are situations where state governments and auto departments may not agree with particular terms or phrases, which may result in the denial of a vanity plate application.
Wendy Auger discovered that a term on her humorous vanity plate—which she had flaunted for fifteen years—had caused it to be rejected. Many people laughed when she drove around the New Hampshire rural roads and highways with the plate that said “PB4WEGO.” Auger, a bartender in Gonic, Rochester, was taken aback by the DMV’s perception that it was offensive.
Auger firmly feels that her right to free speech—a fundamental principle that everyone should enjoy—is being curtailed by the government. She also believes that it is okay to have the term “pe* before we go” on a license plate. She views it as basic common sense counsel that parents provide to their children.
Auger did not simply grab the dish at random. She was overjoyed when it eventually became available because she had been searching for it for years. She made the snap decision to place “PB4WEGO” on her license plate in New Hampshire as soon as she had the opportunity. The state increased the character limit for personalized plates from six to seven, which is why she made this modification.
According to the state, the modifications took place a long time ago as a result of a ruling by the New Hampshire Supreme Court, and the regulations are now extremely clear.
Is Auger supposed to get a new license plate as it is fifteen years old?
