Overview
- Seth Bykofsky’s personalized plate was pulled in January when New York’s DMV ruled it was no longer in compliance and ordered the tags destroyed.
- Gov. Kathy Hochul phoned Bykofsky to say she found the plate hilarious and said the state would allow him to keep it.
- Bykofsky had displayed the plate for more than five years and says reactions from motorists across roughly 15 states, including a police officer, were positive.
- He removed the tags while appealing and pointed to a 2019 New Hampshire case in which Gov. Chris Sununu let a driver keep the same message.
- Bykofsky plans to return the plate to regular use once he reunites with his car, following the governor’s intervention.
