Field Sobriety TestA field sobriety test or roadside sobriety test refers to the test you will be requested to take if you are stopped by a police officer on suspicion of drunk driving or driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, including prescription drugs. Generally, this test consists of tasks designed to measure your balance, coordination and awareness. You may be asked to close your eyes, tilt you head back and then touch your nose with your index finger. You may be asked to walk a straight line heel to toe and then back again. You may be asked to do some simple math problems. Can you refuse to take the field sobriety test? Yes, but do so with respect (click here for more information) and be prepared for a ride to the police station. If you have been ticketed with a DUI, find a reputable lawyer. This is not a time to go it alone.
