Hilariously obvious error on Victorian man’s driver's licence
A Geelong driver has been sent a licence he didn't order with a hilariously glaring mistake.
Anthony Kilsby received the licence in his letterbox with all his correct details on it, apart from one crucial detail.
The licence doesn't have a photo of Kilsby, but instead has a picture of an Asian woman.
After attempting to get hold of VicRoads, Kilsby took to Twitter and asked VicRoads, who sent him the licence, to please explain.
“I'm a 36-year-old Caucasian male with dreadlocks and did not request a new licence,” he posted.
“Can you explain this one to me VicRoads?”
Kilsby told 3AW the licence is correct apart from the photo.
“I'm male, 6'3', got about a foot and a half of blondey-brown dreadlocks and blue eyes,” he said.
VicRoads finally replied to Mr Kilsby's tweet, saying it “looks like there's a case of mistaken identity”.
VicRoads executive director, registration and licensing David Shelton said they have apologised to both Mr Kilsby and the woman pictured.
“As a result of a processing error at one of our customer service centres, an incorrect photo was matched to the wrong customer's file.
“We have spoken to both customers to apologise and have reviewed their files to ensure they are matched with the correct photos and taken action to ensure this doesn't happen again.
