Field Sobriety Tests and DUI in Salt Lake City, Utah

Salt Lake DUI Attorneys

A field sobriety test may play a large role in your Salt Lake DUI case, particularly when the prosecution is trying to prove that you were “under the influence” of alcohol and/or drugs. This can be proven through breath or blood test results that show a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater, OR through the use of failed field sobriety tests that prove a driver’s physical or mental abilities are impaired due to alcohol or drugs. It is important that you understand how field sobriety tests work and what an attorney can do to challenge these in court.

Through our years of practice, we have seen a number of ways that a field sobriety test can be faulty and altogether inaccurate – even when administered per current regulations.

Challenging Field Sobriety Tests in Salt Lake, Provo and Ogden

Field sobriety tests have the innate tendency to be inaccurate. A person’s age, weight, physical condition and a number of other factors can adversely affect his or her ability to perform a field sobriety test accurately, as these tests are based upon one’s coordination, balance and ability to follow instructions. Even the shoes a person is wearing may negatively impact his or her test results!
