Often used by law enforcement to determine if someone is driving under the influence, a field sobriety test is a series of tasks that assess coordination, balance, and the ability to complete divided attention tasks. Common types of these tests include the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), the Walk-and-Turn, and the One-Leg Stand. Each test is designed to indicate potential impairment, but it's important to know they are subject to human error and interpretation.

While field sobriety tests are commonly administered, they aren't flawless. Many factors, including medical conditions, medications, and even nervousness, can affect your performance. Knowing this can help you weigh your options when deciding if you should take the test.

You have certain rights when it comes to sobriety tests. In most states, you are not legally required to take field sobriety tests. Unlike chemical tests, such as breath, blood, or urine tests, there are usually no legal penalties for refusing to participate in the field sobriety tests. This can be a critical piece of information when deciding whether to comply with an officer's request to perform these tasks.

Refusing a field sobriety test may or may not be to your advantage, depending on the circumstances. The choice could lead to a detention or arrest based on whatever other evidence the officer has at the time. Each case is unique, and that's where the guidance of our expert attorneys can become an invaluable asset.

Taking the test might be something to consider if you are confident in your physical abilities and sober state. A passable performance could support your claim of sobriety and may lead to you being allowed to go about your business. Yet, this is often a judgment call that you'll need to make based on your condition at the time of the stop.

Remember that even if you feel sober, the stress of the situation can affect your performance. It's a personal decision, but don't hesitate to reach out to us for tailored advice in such instances. A quick call to (512) 473-2783 could provide you with immediate insight into the best course of action.

In some circumstances, refusing a field sobriety test may work in your favor. If you believe that your performance could be compromised due to tiredness, medical conditions, or anything else that might unjustly incriminate you, it may be wise to politely decline.

By refusing the test, you also deny the officer additional evidence that could be used to justify an arrest for DUI. However, be prepared for the possibility that the officer may arrest you on the spot based on suspicion alone. The absence of further evidence from field sobriety tests, however, could prove beneficial later on in court.

Once you've decided whether or not to take a field sobriety test, what comes next can be daunting. Glazing Saddles Two LTD is here providing clarity in the chaos and advocacy when you need it most. Being informed is your first line of defense; being represented is your shield and sword in the legal arena.

Should you decide to take the field sobriety test and the results suggest impairment, you may be arrested for suspicion of DUI. It's important to remember that the test results, along with the officer's observations, could be used against you in court.

Our national network of attorneys has extensive experience in DUI cases and is dedicated to providing robust defense strategies tailored to your unique situation.

Refusing a field sobriety test can have its own set of consequences. An officer may still arrest you if they believe there's enough evidence to support a DUI charge.
