Field sobriety tests are used by officers to help determine if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs and should be arrested for drunk driving. Various tests that are used include:
- Balance tests (walking an imaginary line, leaning back with eyes closed)
- Coordination tests (counting fingers, touching finger to nose)
- Mental tests (reciting the alphabet, counting numbers backwards)
- Breath tests
If you fail these tests, it's looked on as added proof that you have consumed over the legal limit of alcohol. Do you know your rights?
