Field Sobriety Test Maryland officers conduct a number of tests to determine if they have probable cause to arrest you for driving under the influence. These tests include walk and turn, one leg stand, horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN), counting and the alphabet. Your performance on these tests can mean the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. Our lawyers are familiar with these tests and how they are to be administered. Breathalyzer The legal blood alcohol level is .08. Blowing the legal limit or higher is considered per se under the influence. Did you know that there are certain procedures the police must abide by when administering the breathalyzer? Do not get convicted of a DUI/DWI if the police did not follow proper procedure. Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) Are you familiar with a PBJ? No, it does not mean peanut butter and jelly. PBJ, or probation before judgment, is a tool that is often used for DUI/DWI first offenders in order to protect their driving records. This disposition allows a defendant to be placed on probation instead of receiving a conviction. If you receive a PBJ you do not get points or a suspension attached to your license.

11. Scott & Scott: Performing field sobriety tests (walking the line, one leg stand, etc.) are purely optional. Always decline to perform these tests if you have had too much to drink. Poor performance on these tests only builds the state's case against you. On the other hand, the roadside breath test (PBT-preliminary breath test) is not admissible in Court and submitting to this test is okay if you have only had a couple of drinks. If you pass the PBT the officer may let you go. Maryland has now enacted a .08 limit for driving while intoxicated. The limit for driving impaired is .07. If you take the breath test at the police station you are almost always assuring your conviction. You have an absolute right to refuse the breath test at the police station. While this will result in suspension of your drivers license (or your privilege to drive in Maryland if you have an out of state license), Maryland drivers can receive a restricted work license for their first test refusal. If you refuse the test, the police officer will issue you a temporary license along with a hearing request copy. You must send in the hearing request copy within ten (10) days of your arrest to make sure that your license is not suspended before the hearing to obtain a restricted license. Never make a statement to the police about how much you had to drink without first consulting with an attorney.
