roadside testing

Roadside testing is a process used by law enforcement to assess if a driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Typically, it involves a police officer asking the driver to perform simple physical or cognitive tasks, or using devices like breathalyzers to measure blood alcohol content. These tests help determine if a driver’s impairment impairs their ability to operate a vehicle safely. Roadside testing is a standard part of ensuring road safety, and refusal or failure to complete the tests can lead to legal consequences.
