If you are stopped for suspected drunk driving, the officer on the scene may ask you to perform a series of tasks to determine your ability to operate a motor vehicle. Among the tests that might be performed is the typical "walk and turn" test. This test involves walking a straight line heel to toe without stumbling. You may be asked to extend your arms, close your eyes and bend your head back and then touch your nose with your fingertip. You may also be asked to recite the alphabet. Other tests involve the involuntary responses the body makes when under the influence. The officer may shine a flashlight into your eyes to see how fast the pupil dilates. In some jurisdictions, field sobriety tests are often filmed by a camera mounted in the patrol car and may be used against you in a court of law.
