Georgia DUI Finger-to-Nose Test
If an officer suspects you of drinking and driving, there are many ways in which he can determine this. While there are only three field sobriety tests approved in the state of Georgia, police officers use many non-validated tests.
It is your defense attorney's job to prove whether or not a validated test was given to you and if the results are scientific fact of alcohol consumption over Georgia's legal limit. Hiring a top DUI defense attorney is your only chance to get your life back on track!
Originating in the 1950's, the Finger-to-Nose Test is still utilized today as a method for testing a person's sobriety. The officer will ask you to step out of the car, tilt your head back with your eyes closed and touch the tip of your finger to the tip of your nose.
In an attempt to distract you, the officer will call out different directions, such as "left, right" and "right, left". When the officer calls out the direction, you use the corresponding hand to touch your finger to your nose.
Besides the fact that this test is completely invalid and not recognized by the scientific or medical community, this test also has no means of scoring. For example, there are no standardized clues to determine what is "passing" and what is "failing".
Therefore, when you are given the Finger-to-Nose Test, it is solely up to the discretion of the officer. Bear in mind, your defense attorney should find out exactly what tests you were given and if they were properly administered.
