The five field sobriety tests:

The five field sobriety tests:

• A horizontal gaze nystagmus test. The driver is asked to follow the lighted red tip of a pen with his eyes, without moving his head. If a driver has been drinking his eyes will jerk, instead of following the light smoothly.

• The nine steps test. The driver must walk a straight line heel-to-toe for nine steps, make a tight turn, and walk back nine steps.

• Balancing on one leg. The driver stands on one foot for about 30 seconds.
  

• Touching the nose. With hands at his side, the driver is asked to close his eyes, lean his head back, and touch his nose with the tip of each finger.
  

• Reciting the alphabet.
