When you are driving home, and stopped at a sobriety checkpoint, several things may occur. First, the officer will ask each vehicle to stop and provide proof of driver's license. Next, the officer may ask you if you have been drinking. Despite your answer, the officer may ask you to step out of your vehicle and perform several field sobriety tests, such as a breath test, walk and turn test or one leg stand test. Depending on your performance in these tests, the officer will then determine if you have been drinking and driving, and if it constitutes an arrest.
