Atlanta Field Sobriety Test Attorney

DUI Defense Lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia

An experienced Atlanta DUI lawyer can help you if you were arrested for DUI after failing field sobriety tests. Not only are these tests subject to an officer’s opinion of your performance, but they are also not fully accurate and the results may be skewed by poor road or weather conditions, or a driver who is injured, ill, weary or nervous. Using the innate faults of field sobriety testing, a defense attorney can work to prove that a field sobriety test failure was due to another influence other than alcohol or drugs.

Field Sobriety Tests in Atlanta

There are three standardized field sobriety tests which may be administered in the case of an Atlanta DUI stop:

  • Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus: the officer will have you follow an object or light with your eyes. He/she is looking for an involuntary side to side movement of the eyes, which is said to be an indication of intoxication.
  • Walk and Turn: the officer will have you walk in one direction, heel to toe, for a certain number of steps and then turn and walk in the other direction. This test is used to test balance, coordination and the ability to follow instructions.
  • One Leg Stand: the officer will have you stand on one leg with your arms at your sides. This test is used to test balance and the ability to follow instructions.

Field sobriety tests may show severe intoxication, but they may also be failed due to an individual’s weight or age, or due to an injury, illness, weariness or nervousness. A medical condition or other physical condition may also hinder an individual’s ability to perform a field sobriety test and pass.
