These tests—like the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Walk-and-Turn, and One-Leg Stand—rely on physical and mental coordination that even sober individuals might find challenging. Importantly, you are not legally required to take these tests, and refusing them may sometimes be the best option to protect your rights. Read our blog to learn more about these tests and your options.

While a blood test can detect ma*****na, the nuances of active vs. inactive metabolites and how they appear in tests can significantly impact DUI charges.
