Field sobriety tests are a common method law enforcement uses to determine impairment in suspected DUI cases. These tests can include a horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN), walk-and-turn, and one-leg stand exercises. While these are standard practice, they are subject to human error and other factors that can affect their reliability. It is crucial for individuals to understand their rights and the intricacies of these tests to ensure they are not wrongfully accused.

The administration of field sobriety tests is heavily dependent on the observing officer's judgment and interpretation. Factors such as inadequate training, inherent biases, or simple human error can all result in false positives.

Training discrepancies among law enforcement officers may lead to the incorrect administration of the tests. Combined with the pressure of a roadside stop, even a well-trained officer can make mistakes that may unjustly influence the outcome of the test.

Field sobriety tests are often conducted under less-than-ideal conditions. Variables such as uneven pavement, poor lighting, or inclement weather can significantly impact an individual's performance.

These external factors are outside of a suspect's control and yet can lead to a failing result on the test, which may not accurately reflect their level of impairment.

Inherent physical or medical conditions can also influence field sobriety test results. Issues like ear infections, previous injuries, or conditions like diabetes can skew the results and erroneously suggest impairment where there is none.

Wearing certain footwear, such as high heels, or having a natural imbalance, can also hinder a person's ability to perform physical tasks reliably, leading to false assumptions of intoxication.

When a field sobriety test is inaccurately administered or interpreted, it can lead to unjust DUI charges that affect people's lives significantly. Jobs, reputations, and personal freedom all hang in the balance, making the issue of test accuracy of paramount importance.
