Are field sobriety tests mandatory for all drivers in Arizona?
No, under Arizona law, field sobriety tests are not mandatory for all drivers. Unlike chemical tests, which carry legal consequences for refusal, drivers generally have the right to refuse field sobriety tests without penalties to their driver’s license. However, it’s crucial to note that refusing these tests may still result in arrest if the officer has other grounds for suspicion of impairment.
