Scottsdale Field Sobriety Test Attorney
Have you failed a field sobriety test?
If you have been pulled over while driving under suspicion of DUI, it is most probably that you were administered several "field sobriety tests." These tests are usually administered by the law enforcement officer that pulled you over. You may be asked to stand on one foot, walk in a straight line, or other such tests. From the observation of the officer of you at the time, it can be adjudicated that you are inebriated. However, these tests are less than scientific, and even the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration notes in their own documents that their best test, after training an officer, are only 88% accurate.
This high percentage of error has caused many individuals serious problems with law enforcement. If you have pulled over and then had these tests administered to you and then were charged with DUI, it is crucial that you contact a Scottsdale DUI attorney. There are various physical and mental situations that could cause an individual to do poorly in these tests, other than alcohol consumption. Some of the possible factors that could influence field sobriety tests include:
- Age
- Health
- Ability to understand the language
- Fear
- Illnesses
- Physical problems
- Directions hard to understand
