What are Field Sobriety Tests?
In order to determine a driver’s impairment, law enforcement officials will often ask drivers to submit to standardized field sobriety tests during a DWI stop. These roadside tests can include an eye test, called the horizontal gaze nystagmus test (HGN); walking in a straight line; standing on one foot while counting; possibly reciting the alphabet; or bringing your fingers to your nose. Unfortunately, field sobriety tests in North Carolina can easily set someone up for failure.
