No.  Never been dipped.
The usual question is "Have you had a drink?"
My answer the last time this happened was  "Was my driving THAT bad?"
Some of them have got a sense of humour fortunately.

Yep a couple of times in town centre. They always do this when fuel prices start going through the roof. Not that fuel prices have ever been anything less than a rip off!
