If you are stopped under suspicion of OUI in Massachusetts, the police will typically request that you perform three standard field sobriety tests. Field soriety tests measure one’s ability to do two things at once, such as maintain balance and follow instruction. Common factors beyond impairment that contribute to poor performance on these tests, include:
- Obesity;
- Age;
- Medical conditions and injuries;
- Poor-coordination.
If you are charged with OUI, it is important to have an OUI Lawyer with you that can discern if the field sobriety tests were properly adminstered. Contact Attorney Shane W. Surrette at (774) 364-4605 or at [email protected] today.
