Police Stop!!

The police stopped us today in an undercover car, and asked for Stuart's details. When he came back to the van after the check he took the keys from the ignition and said Stuart was a disqualified driver for drink driving!! What the hell!!! Total panic set in!!! I think he realised the shock on our faces, and our desperate plea that he had the wrong guy, and went back to his car for more checks. Panicking I tried to think of all paperwork I had and proof I could use to show that it wasn't Stuart. We are flying back in a few days, and it might complicate matters if Stuart was in jail! Luckily the policeman came back after a long heart racing 5 minutes, and apologised for the confusion. Apparently there is another Stuart John Banks with the exact same birth date who is disqualified (what are the chances eh?!) Only by checking up with immigration did he clear up that he had the wrong Stuart. Luckily for us, this other guy was charged before we entered the country. OMG! Might take a while for my heart to slow back down! He said we will more than likely be getting stopped again, as it flags up on the system if you run our vans plates. At least next time we will be expecting it, and we might not suffer from heart attacks. Oh God!!
