Let me just start this out with that I've never had a DUI, speeding ticket or ever been the driver in an accident. I've actually never had a moving violation of any kind.
My daughter and I watch COPS, Campus PD or one of those types of shows about once a week or so. Sometimes for the fun of it we do the sobriety tests along with the suspects in the shows. I fail all the walking heel to toe and tipping the head back. For some reason I just can't do them. My daughter thinks its hilarious of course!
I'm curious what you would do if you pulled someone over that failed those tests? I've made a few mistakes that were pull over worthy but just no one saw me do them. Not often, but I'm not perfect either. I know I would pass the eye test (since I wouldn't actually be impaired) and I'd be able to follow directions. But the dexterity tests I would fail, no question. Walk heel to toe - can't do it! Stand with one foot in the air - not for more than two seconds! Tip your head back, close your eyes...sir you're not supposed to fall down!
I suppose if I was ever pulled over for anything I probably wouldn't even be given any sobriety tests since I wouldn't smell like alcohol or have slurred speech. So let's say that I was driving for 2 miles with my left turn signal on and you pull me over. Are you even likely to make me do any sobriety tests?
