It made national news when a New Hampshire woman had her vanity plate “PB4WeGo” revoked for being reportedly offensive. Huffington PostBoston GlobeDo you think it was right to try to ban her plate? Or do you think Governor Sununu was right to pardon her? Do you have an opinion on vanity plates at all? Are they just for fun or should there be limits in place?

I'm all for freedom of speech, however I do believe there is a time and a place for this style of humour. "PB4WeGo" could easily be taken out of context and if we're being honest, would the parental phrase be the first thing that comes to mind when people see her licence-plate? I very much doubt so. I believe there should be restrictions in place for custom licence-plates, because the privilage could very easily be abused by people looking to satisfy their own selfish needs. There's nothing stopping people from using custom licence-plates as an avenue to promote far-left or far-right propaganda. We shouldn't be allowing people to purchase custom licence-plates purely for the purpose of voicing material which may be considered inappropriate or offensive.

I have to admit I'm biased because I was stuck behind this car sat an intersection like six months ago lmao.

But what would you say about people who use bumper stickers to express their political views? Do you think it's just not the place of the government to be issuing certain things, or are you saying vehicles aren't the place for them?

I think bumper stickers are fine, because they are often accompanied by pictures, symbols etc. and there is less confusion over the message that is being expressed. I'm not against people using their vehicles to voice their own personal beliefs, whether it be political or something else entirely. I just believe licence-plates are not the most appropriate method to express them.
