Reliable Illinois Drunk Driving Attorney
They are the images most strongly associated with a drunk driving arrest: walk a straight line heel-to-toe, stand on one foot, touch your nose. The field sobriety test has been in use for decades and uses a series of standardized tests to determine a driver's level of impairment. Officers look for certain cues during the test. Once you hit a predetermined number of cues, you fail the test and can be arrested for DUI.
These are standardized tests, and officers go through specialized training to learn how to interpret the results. If the tests are not administered properly, or if the results are misinterpreted, you could be charged with a crime based on bad evidence. If you are facing a DUI that involves field sobriety test evidence, it is important that you seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense attorney who knows how to handle these cases.
