Field Sobriety Tests are one of the ways for police officers to determine whether or not a suspected individual was drunk driving. If you have already been arrested for DUI before, then you’ll be familiar with the steps of the DUI arrest. First of all, the police officer will observe your driving skills; if he thinks you are not driving properly or suspects drunk driving, then he or she will signal you to pull over which you should do appropriately and in the right place. Next, you must know, that the police officer is trained to listen carefully to your speech, smell your breath, observe the color of your skin and your appearance while he judges whether or not you need to be tested further for drunk driving. If he feels that there is some sort of abnormality in the above mentioned physical attributes, then he or she will ask you to step out of the car.
