Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test

Test where an officer holds a stimulus in front of the eyes looking for equal tracking and jumping in the eyes.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

The things that they'll look for generally speaking are horizontal gaze and stagmas tests. So they'll hold a stimulus in front of their eyes. Um, and they'll look for equal tracking. They'll look for jumping uh in the eyes, things like that. And there are uh a number of different clues that they can pick up from that. Uh from there, they'll do the walk and turn test. Um so walking in a line, making sure that that you're actually able to do that and follow instructions. And then the one leg stand test, which is a balancing test. So, those are generally the three the three tests that they'll that they'll do for SFSTs.
