Field Sobriety Tests - The Officer's Opinion vs. your Lawyer

What Are Field Sobriety Tests?

Field Sobriety Tests (FST's) are psychophysical tests used to assess a person's physical and/or mental impairment. These tests are "divided attention tasks," requiring you to concentrate on more then one task at the same time. FSTs are not meant to be easy!

The most common FSTs are the three standardized tests: Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, Walk & Turn test, and the One Leg Stand test.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved these three tests - and only these three tests - to be show indications of intoxication, but only when administered in the prescribed manner!
