FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS

Field Sobriety Tests (FST) are tests conducted by the police officer who pulls you over in order to determine if you are mentally and physically capable of safely driving and operating a motor vehicle. These tests are given to monitor your balance, coordination and motor skills. These tests are supposed to determine inebriation, but are almost impossible to pass, even when sober for some. Also, these tests are not mandatory and can be declined. You can simply ask to take a blood test instead.
