One Leg Stand: DUI Field Sobriety Test (3/3) Hall County Georgia Lawyer Explains

View More DUI Related Articles & Videos

Georgia DUI lawyer, John Breakfield, discusses the third Field Sobriety Test in a series of roadside tests called the One Leg Stand.  This test has two phases: the instructional phase and the balance and counting phase.  In order to ensure the integrity of the One Leg Stand test, the officer must properly give the instructions and properly monitor the driver during the test.  If the officer does not follow the training protocols, then the test is compromised and could be helpful to the defense of the case.
