Man Who Used Penis Signature On Driving Licence Loses Right To Use It (PHOTOS)

Must read

When a 33-year-old Melbourne man decided to change his signature to a drawing of a penis, little did he know that it would land him in a five-year legal battle with Australian authorities.

Jared Gregory Hyams drew the signature at the bottom of a form for the Australian Electoral Commission just for the fun of it but he finally lost the right to have it recognised after various authorities refused to accept it.

He said: “I thought it would be a laugh; they would approve it and next year I would sign something different.

“But when I did this signature all of a sudden the shit hit the fan. I was receiving letters and phone calls telling me I couldn’t have it. I thought, that’s interesting, why not?”

He ‘adopted’ the phallic symbol as his own signature and used it to successfully applied for an licence to drive in Victoria, a government proof of age card, a health care card and various student cards and even opened a bank account bearing his newfound tag, according to Mirror UK.

However, Hyams realised he was in for something more serious after VicRoads, an agency that process licences for drivers, initially rejected his signature which only appear on his licence when it ‘slipped through the net’.

He went to the court twice in his bid to fight for his right but he had his case thrown out by a magistrate both times.

The Department of Trade and Foreign Affairs refused him a passport bearing the symbol and warned it “could constitute sexual harassment” of staff.

And the Department of Justice rejected his application for a Working With Children criminal check – but Jared admitted he has “sensitivity” to their decision.

Hyams’ penis signature couldn’t be used to change his address on the electoral roll but he swore to continue the battle until the authorities no longer object to his signature.

Below are some photos of the penis signature. (Click on any image to enlarge).
