The field sobriety test can often consist of a number of
different tests including counting backwards, finger-to- nose,
reciting the alphabet backwards, one leg stand, walk a straight line
and turn, and following an object or light with eyes.
All of these tests are unique and present their own flaws. It is
important for a person who failed a field sobriety test to consult
with an experienced DUI attorney who understands how to argue the
flaws of the various field sobriety tests. An experienced DUI
attorney will be able to look at a number of factors and determine
if the person’s failure of the tests were due to other factors such
as preexisting injury, the condition of the road or surface the
tests were administered on, the lighting, or other impairment the
officer may not have known of at the time. If such factors exist, an
experienced DUI attorney will be able to present them as evidence
against the strength of the field sobriety test.
