Phoenix DUI Information: Field Sobriety Tests

Field Sobriety Tests in Arizona

If you have been pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) you most likely had several field sobriety tests administered to you by law enforcement.  These tests, although known to be less than scientific, are still used to determine whether it is considered that you may be a drunk driver.  The results of the tests are based on the observation of law enforcement, and other factors that may affect the test are usually ignored, such as age, physical problems, fear, language problems, inability to understand the directions given or other factors that could greatly influence the test.  If you have been subjected to such a test and then charged with DUI, it is crucial that you contact a Phoenix field sobriety tests attorney.

Field sobriety tests such as the horizontal gaze nystagmus test are purely physical tests and are not accurate indicators for levels of intoxication.  It is very important that you speak with an attorney if your DUI charge was based off of a field sobriety test  because you may be able to fight the charges.  The legal team at the Knowles Law Firm is experienced in handling all types of DUI cases throughout Phoenix and they will be able to help you.
