Are field sobriety tests an accurate and fair way to determine BAC?
Field sobriety tests are unfair way to gauge a driver’s level of intoxication. Almost all attorneys agree that field sobriety tests are subjective, prone to inaccuracies, and designed for failure. There are number of factors that could cause a person to perform poorly on a field sobriety test, including nervousness, fatigue, a pre-existing illness or physical disability, the type of footwear the driver is wearing, weather conditions, road conditions, age, weight, natural lack of coordination, etc.
