Officers commonly use standardized field sobriety tests to assess impairment, including horizontal gaze nystagmus, the walk-and-turn test, and the one-leg stand.
During a traffic stop, officers often rely on standardized field sobriety tests when investigating possible impairment. This video identifies three common tests: horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk and turn, and the one-leg stand.
Other tests may also be used, but these standardized exercises are the typical methods discussed here. If the stop leads to an OVI charge, the testing can be reviewed as part of the defense.

Dan Sabol is probably the best attorney I've ever worked with. Very professional and worked hard to get the best results possible. He will be the first person I call if I need a lawyer again. If you find yourself in a sticky situation make sure you give him a ring.
