• Trouble with dismount

• Trouble with balance at a stop

• Turning problems (e.g., unsteady, sudden corrective, late breaking, improper lean angle)

• Inattentive to surroundings

• Inappropriate or unusual behavior (e.g., carrying or dropping object, urinating at

roadside, disorderly conduct, etc.)

• Weaving

Good Cues (30 to 50% Probability)• Erratic movements while going straight

• Operating without lights at night

Concepts and Principles of theStandardized Field Sobriety

Tests (SFST)


Overview:Development and Validation

NHTSA Research Began in 1975 in CaliforniaWith Three Final Reports Being Published:

1. California: 1977 (lab study only)

2. California: 1981 (lab/field study)

3. Maryland, Washington, DC, Virginia, North

Carolina: 1983 (field study only)

VIII-1

Concepts and Principles of the Standardized Field Sobriety

Tests {SFST)

9/4/2019

16


Original Research Objectives

VIII-1A

• To evaluate currently used physical coordination tests to determine their relationship to intoxication and driving impairment.

• To develop more sensitive tests that would provide more reliable evidence of impairment.

• To standardize the tests and observations.


Volunteers were Subjected toSix Tests:

VIII-2

1. One-leg stand

2. Finger to nose

3. Finger count

4. Walk and turn

5. Tracing (a paper and pencil exercise)

6. Nystagmus (called alcohol gaze nystagmus in

final report)


Laboratory Test Data

VIII-3

• HGN by itself was 77% accurate.

• Walk and Turn was 68% accurate.

• One Leg Stand was 65% accurate.

• It would be possible to combine the results of

HGN and Walk and Turn and be 80% accurate.

DUI ARREST FLOW CHART

.A • ~ Police arrests offender for DUI and issues a Law Enforcement Sworn Report /Statutory

Summary Suspension (SSS)

Offender goes to Court for DUI; also has right to contest the summary suspension in a separate hearing.

If found guilty of DUI, judge orders offender to get an evaluation

DASA provider completes evaluation

Offender returns to judge for sentencing.

✓ If convicted, then driving privileges are revoked. If sentenced to court supervision, then offender can resume

driving after termination of summary suspension.

✓ If offender contests summary suspension at an Implied Consent hearing, then judge can rescind the Statutory

Summary Suspension, but if not, the client will lose driving privileges 46 days after arrest.

✓ If offender is a first offender, they can accept a monitoring device driving permit from the Secretary of State

BAIID Division.

✓ If offender is not a first offender, then offender cannot drive during the summary suspension.

✓ If the judge rescinds the Statutory Summary Suspension, then the summary suspension is removed from driving

record and offender is free to resume driving, unless convicted/revoked for the DUI, in which case the offender

will have to go to the Secretary of State for driving relief.

✓ Offender follows judge's orders for treatment, risk education, etc.

Standardized Field Sobriety Test

f~-=~•.· - -----&IN

APPENDIX A Standardized Field Sobriety Testing

The Standardiz.ed Field Sobriety Test (SFS1) is a battery of three tests administered and evaluated in a standardiz.ed manner to obtain validated indicators of impainnent and establish probable cause for arrest. These tests were developed as a resuh of research sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and conducted by the Southern California Research Institute. A formal program of training was developed and is available through NHTSA to help law enforcement officers become more skillful at detecting DWI suspects, describing the behavior of these suspects, and presenting effective testimony in court. Formal administration and accreditation of the program is provided through the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). The three tests of the SFST are:

• Horizontal Gaz.e Nystagmus (HGN), • Walk-and-Tum(WA1), • and One-Leg Stand (OLS).

These tests are administered systematically and are evaluated according to measured responses of the suspect.

HGN Testing

Horizontal Gaz.e Nystagmus is an involuntary jerking of the eye that occurs naturally as the eyes gaz.e to the side. Under normal circUill'itances, nystagmus occurs when the eyes are rotated at high peripheral angles. However, when a person is impaired by alcohoL nystagmus is exaggerated and may occur at lesser angles. An alcoholimpaired person will also often have difficuhy smoothly tracking a moving object. In the HGN test, the officer observes the eyes of a suspect as the suspect follows a slowly moving object such as a pen or small flashlight, horizontally with his or her eyes. The examiner looks for three indicators of impainnent in each eye: if the eye cannot follow a moving object smoothly, if jerking is distinct when the eye is at maximum deviation, and if the angle of onset of jerking is within 45 degrees of center. I~ between the two eyes, four or more clues appear, the suspect likely has a BAC of 0.08 or greater. NHTSA research found that this test allows proper classification of approximately 88 percent of suspects (Stuster and Burns, 1998). HGN may also indicate consumption of seizure medications, phencyclidine, a variety of inhalants, barbiturates, and other depressants.

Walk and Turn

The Walk-and-Tum test and One-Leg Stand test are "divided attention" tests that are easily performed by most

unimpaired people. They require a suspect to listen to and follow instructions while performing simple physical

movements. Impaired persons have difficulty with tasks requiring their attention to be divided between simple

mental and physical exercises.

In the Walk-and-Tum test, the subject is directed to take nine steps, heel-to-toe, along a straight line. After

taking the steps, the suspect must turn on one foot and return in the same manner in the opposite direction. The

examiner looks for eight indicators of impairment: if the suspect cannot keep balance while listening to the

instructions, begins before the instructions are finished, stops while walking to regain balance, does not touch

heel-to-toe, steps off the line, uses arms to balance, makes an improper turn, or takes an incorrect number of steps. NHTSA research indicates that 79 percent of individuals who exhibit two or more indicators in the

performance of the test will have a BAC of 0.08 or greater (Stuster and Burns, 1998).

One Leg Stand

In the One-Leg Stand test, the suspect is instructed to stand with one foot approximately six inches off the

ground and count aloud by thousands (One thousand-one, one thousand-two, etc.) until told to put the foot

down. The officer times the subject for 30 seconds. The officer looks for four indicators of impairment, including

swaying while balancing, using arms to balance, hopping to maintain balance, and putting the foot down. NHTSA research indicates that 83 percent of individuals who exhibit two or more such indicators in the performance of

the test will have a BAC of 0.08 of greater (Stuster and Burns, 1998).

Combined Measures

When the component tests of the SFST battery are combined, officers are accurate in 91 percent of cases,

overall, and in 94 percent of cases if explanations for some of the false positives are accepted (Stuster and

Burns, 1998).

The original NHTSA research found different accuracies for the SFST Battery than reported in the more recent

study. Tharp, Burns, and Moskowitz (1981) reported accuracies of 77 percent for the HGN, 68 percent for the

Walk and Turn, and 65 percent for the One Leg Stand components; 81 percent of officers' arrest decisions at

0.10 BAC were correct when all three measures were combined. In contrast, Stuster and Burns (1998) found

greater accuracies in making arrest decisions on the basis of SFST results in their study at 0.08 percent BAC, as

descnbed previously and sunnnarized in the following table.

Comparison of SFST Accuracies 1981 vs. 1998

Study: Combined Tharp, Burns, & Moskowitz (1981)

• BAC: 0.10

• HGN: 77%

• WAT:8%

• OLS: 65%

• Combined: 81 %

Study: Stuster & Bums (1998)

• BAC: 0.08

• HGN: 88%

• WAT: 79%

• OLS: 83%

• Combined: 91%

The greater component and overall accuracies found during the 1998 study are attnbutable to 17 years of law enforcement experience with the SFSTs since the original study and a lower criterion BAC than in the original

study (ie., 0.08 vs. 0.10 percent).
