One Leg Stand

The one leg stand test, like the walk and turn field sobriety test, is a divided attention test that is designed to determine the subject’s balance, listening skills, and ability to follow instructions.  In this test the participant is required to stand on one leg while the other leg is extended in front of the person in a “stiff-leg” manner. This extended foot is to be held approximately six inches above and parallel with the ground.  While this is occurring the person is instructed to stare at the elevated foot and count aloud until told to stop, by counting “one thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three,” and so on.  Also like the walk and turn test this test requires a “reasonably dry, hard, level, and non-slippery surface.” NHTSA; U.S. Department of Transportation. DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, Student Manual. HS 178 R8/06, Page VIII-11 (2006) Further, the officer has knowledge that original research indicated that individuals over the age of 65, and those with back, leg or middle ear problems had difficulty performing the test. Subjects wearing heels more than 2 inches high should be given the opportunity to remove their shoes. Id.
