PHASE THREE:  FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS

Phase Three of the pre-arrest screening in the DUI investigation process has two major evidence gathering tasks and one major decision, according to NHTSA. The officer's first task in Phase Three is to administer three psychophysical (field) sobriety tests. NHTSA declares that these tests are "scientifically validated" however, this assertion is not universally accepted and will be detailed later in the chapter. Importantly these tests are voluntary and the officer must inform the driver of this fact. NHTSA states that based on these tests and on all other evidence gathered from Phase One and Two, the officer must decide whether there is sufficient probable cause to arrest the driver for DUI.
