Have you ever seen a law enforcement officer examining the eyes of a motorist along the roadside or on television? Ever wonder what the officer is looking for? The officer is most likely administering one of the three standardized field sobriety tests to help determine if the motorist is impaired. In this week’s podcast, host Steve Oberman will provide a summary of the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test, also referred to as HGN, used by law enforcement to assist in the detection of impaired motorists.
