5. Provide the officer with drivers license, registration, proof of insurance, and avoid breathing directly at the officer if you have consumed alcohol.
6. Be polite to the officer and only provide pertinent information. Do not provide any additional information to assist officer in DUI investigation.
7. Refuse to allow the officer to perform the horizontal gaze test (pen/eye test).
8. Refuse to take any other field sobriety tests, including the Walk and Turn test or One Leg Stand test. Field Sobriety Tests are voluntary and should be avoided at all costs.
