A quick definition of sobriety test:

Sobriety test: A way to check if someone has had too much alcohol to drink. There are different types of sobriety tests, like tests that check how well someone can move and tests that use a machine to measure the amount of alcohol in someone's breath.

A more thorough explanation:

A sobriety test is a way to check if someone is drunk or under the influence of drugs. There are different types of sobriety tests, but they all aim to determine if a person is fit to drive or operate machinery.

  • Coordination tests: These tests check a person's balance, reflexes, and coordination. For example, the police may ask someone to walk in a straight line or stand on one leg.
  • Breathalyzer: This is a device that measures the amount of alcohol in a person's breath. The person blows into the device, and it gives a reading of their blood alcohol content (BAC).
  • Horizontal-gaze nystagmus test: This test checks for involuntary eye movements that can occur when a person is drunk. The police may ask someone to follow a moving object with their eyes while keeping their head still.

These tests are used by law enforcement officers to determine if someone is too impaired to drive. If a person fails a sobriety test, they may be arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI).

For example, if a person is pulled over for swerving on the road and smells like alcohol, the police may ask them to take a sobriety test. If the person fails the coordination test and breathalyzer, they may be arrested for DUI.
