Feb. 26 (UPI) -- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul stepped in to help a Long Island grandfather win his battle over a customized license plate reading "PB4WEGO."
Seth Bykofsky shared a photo of a letter he received from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles in January telling him his "PB4WEGO" plate -- which he admits stands for "pee before we go" -- had been found to be in violation of the department's regulations.
The DMV's rules prohibit vanity plates bearing messages that could be construed as "derogatory, contemptuous, degrading, disrespectful or inflammatory."
Bykofsky argued his plate did not qualify.
"Derogatory? Contemptuous? Degrading? Disrespectful? In all my years as a parent and now, grandparent, the worst I've gotten has been a gentle roll of the eyes from my kids and grandkids," he wrote on social media.
