The post went viral. One netizen comments on Auger’s social media page: “Such a ridiculous situation… Not only is it funny and cute, it’s a really good reminder!” And a second writes, “what’s going on?! You’ve had that plate FOREVER.”

A third offers a solution, “Would that be Pee or Pay…??? lol”

Responding to the users who encouraged her to petition the recall, Auger shares, “Live free or die my arse,” she shares, later joking, “I think dmv sux will be my next one…but I may get pulled over quite often lol.”

Making its rounds on social media, her post eventually captured the attention of New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who overturned the ruling. He left her a message saying: “Hey Wendy, I’ts Chris Sununu, How are you? Hey, just want to let you know we took care of that issue…sorry for that little bureaucratic hold up up there…and the push back…but obviously common sense prevailed.”
