Custom license plates offer car owners a unique opportunity to showcase their individuality. For those willing to pay an additional fee, they can personalize their license plates with custom messages or a combination of letters and numbers. These vanity plates provide a chance for people to showcase their creativity and express themselves in a unique and memorable way.
However, there are instances when state governments and their departments of motor vehicles disapprove of certain language, leading to the rejection of a vanity plate application. This can come as an unexpected disappointment to proud car owners like Wendy Auger, who recently learned that her vanity plate, which she had proudly displayed for fifteen years, was unexpectedly rejected due to a single word.
Auger’s vanity plate featured the phrase “PB4WEGO,” a light-hearted and amusing message that brought smiles to the faces of many as she cruised along the highways and remote roads of her home in New Hampshire. Despite this, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) deemed the plate offensive, causing Auger to question their perception of the situation.
