New Windsor/Newburgh/Orange County, NY Roadside Sobriety Test Defense Attorneys
Anyone who has taken a test in high school or college is aware that test anxiety can strike them or someone around them. But what happens when test anxiety strikes during a sobriety test following a vehicle pullover on suspicion of drunk driving?
Law enforcement officials like to claim that if you can't walk a straight line or touch your nose, there can be only one possible explanation. But think about it. Many factors can lead to difficulty in accomplishing these simple tasks. One is anxiety.
The tasks in a typical sobriety test can feel very unnatural when the person performing them is nervous. At one moment you are driving your vehicle, relaxed and assured. The next moment, you are out of your car, vehicles are zooming by and, in front of dozens of people, including police officers, you are made to hop, balance and perform other unnatural acts. These are actions you would never make in your everyday life. These are balance tests that are designed to make sober people look intoxicated.

Though sobriety tests carry weight and validity in the public, generally, they are, in fact, nonsense in many instances. Police officers cannot tell whether a person is drunk just by watching him or her, and Breathalyzer and blood tests can be inaccurate, too.
