Dodgy Driving Licence Photo Left Woman 'Looking Like Homer Simpson'

Dodgy Driving Licence Photo Left Woman 'Looking Like Homer Simpson'

Lisa McKay says she has been turned away from pubs because it's not very 'identifiable'

A Scottish woman says her driving licence photo left her looking like Homer Simpson, making it hard for her to use it as ID because she looks 'bald'.

Lisa McKay, 24, said that when she had the photo taken, she had a short white blonde pixie cut, which she thinks could have been a cause of the glitch.

But the way the image has been cropped means it looks like Lisa, from Glasgow, has a very round head. The squiggly verification lines make it looks like she has some curly tufts on the side, like Homer.

The clerical assistant joked that she gets called 'Homer Simpson' because the tufts of hair on the side of her head and the rounded lines at the top.

Lisa said: "I think it turned out so badly because I'm very pale, my hair was white blonde and styled into a pixie cut.

"When they print your licence, they put a weird white filter over it which sort of whitecasts everything.

"So it ended up that my forehand blended into my hair, which blended into the background. I look bald but with a few tufts of hair at the side.

"When I first got it, I didn't even take in how bad it was. It was only when I started getting funny looks off bouncers that I took a closer look.

"My friends and I had a good laugh. Quite a few bouncers have mentioned how awful the photo is.

"I'm often questioned because of it. I think people think it's a bad fake or it's not of me, since it's not a very identifiable photo.

"I've had people tell me that I look like Homer Simpson, or like Eleven in Stranger Things.

"I always joke that I look like my dad, who is bald."

Lisa originally got the licence issued in 2016, but says she is now considering getting a new photo and licence so that she stops getting knocked back from the pub by suspicious bouncers.

She added: "Looking back, I should've paid more attention to my licence at first and asked for another to be done.

"I'm finally getting around to sending for a new photo, as I just don't want to run the risk of being knocked back from places when restrictions here lift

"I'll definitely be triple checking my photo when I get a new licence this time round that's for sure."
