SO GOING BACK, ANO PO YUNG FST:

The sobriety test consists NG

1. UNA, The Eye Test

The law enforcement officer will move an object from side to side, and you must be able to
follow its movement with your eyes from a foot away. This tests for “nystagmus,” or involuntary
jerkiness of the eyes. It’s a common symptom for those under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

2. The Walk-and-Turn

To demonstrate your ability to maintain your balance, you’ll walk heel-to-toe in a straight line.
Failure to complete the walk is a possible indicator of intoxication.
3. The One-Leg Stand

For the last test, you’ll stand on one leg while keeping the other foot raised six inches above the
ground for 30 seconds. This measures your balance and coordination.

In case you fail any of the tests above, you’ll have to take the breathalyzer exam. The
breathalyzer is a device that analyzes the amount of alcohol in your blood through your breath.

To pass this test, your results should show a blood alcohol concentration level below 0.05%.
Drivers of public utility vehicles, trucks, buses, and motorcycles have to have a blood alcohol
level of 0.0%

Should you refuse to take the field sobriety or drug tests, your driver’s license will be confiscated
and revoked. If you pass the tests, you’ll be sanctioned only for the traffic offense for which you
were pulled over.

Driving OUR own car is EXITING AND luxury, but it also comes with responsibilities.
As a driver, WE SHOULD be accountable for a lot of things, WE MUST OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS,
RULES AND REGULATIONS.

BUT Most importantly, WE ARE responsible for both the people inside our car AS WELL AS TO
commuters, pedestrians, and other drivers outside it.
SO, By following the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Law, WE can keep everyone—including
ourself—safe.
