The section of DUI Traffic Stops has been modified to be specific for the state of Florida from the: | DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing course |
DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing course is produced by the: | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) |
NHTSA stands for | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration |
NHTSA uses the the DWI "driving while impaired" and Florida law uses: | DUI "driving under the influence" |
DUI is both a societal and law enforcement problem where the ultimate goal is to reduce the number of impaired drivers through: | Prevention, education and deterrence |
The legal consequences of a DUI conviction include: | Monetary fines, imprisonment, and temporary or permanent loss of driving privileges |
The other parties who contribute to the prevention and deterrence of DUIs are: | Legislators, prosecutors and media |
The key to DUI deterrence is: | DUI detection |
Alcohol is the most abused drug in the United States and is a depressant which affects the: | Central nervous system |
Is the active ingredient in beer, wine, whiskey, liquors, etc.: | Alcohol |
Alcohol effects on the body include: | Loss of fine motor skills, hand/eye coordination, and judgment |
The absorption rate of alcohol varies based on many factors including: | Person's weight and gender, whether and how much food he or she has eaten, alcohol concentration of the substance consumed |
The average alcohol elimination rate of humans is | .015% per hour |
The degree to which the person is affected by alcohol depends on: | How much is consumed, length of time over which the alcohol is consumed, gender and physical size of person, whether or not the person has eaten, and various other factors |
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and Breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) set the limit an individual is presumed impaired and cannot legally operate a vehicle, and is established by: | Florida law, F.S. 316.193 |
F.S. 316.193 establishes that the limit of Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is: | 0.08(BAC) |
F.S. 316.193 establishes that the limit of Breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is: | 0.08 (BrAC) |
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is expressed in terms of grams of alcohol: | In every 100 milliliters of blood |
Breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is expressed in terms of grams of alcohol: | Per 210 liters of breath |
The limit of 0.08 may refer to: | Blood alcohol level or the breath alcohol level |
Refers to a person who is driving, who has drive, or who is in actual physical control of a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or certain substances that adversely affect the auditory, visual, or mental processes: | Driving under the influence (DUI) |
If a person who is asleep or passed out in the front seat of a vehicle in the front seat of a vehicle with the key in the ignition, in his/her pocket, on seat next to him, can be arrested, because: | He or she is in actual physical control of the vehicle |

According to court case Howard v. State, expanded the term of vehicle in which a person may be charged with a DUI to include: | Bicycles, scooters, ATVs, go-carts, golf carts, etc. |
May a person be arrested for DUI even though he or she never drove onto a road or highway? | Yes |
If alcohol concentration was 0.05 or below the jury must presume that violator: | Was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that his/her normal faculties were impaired |
If alcohol concentration was 0.05 but less than 0.08 the jury must presume that violator: | Was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that his/her normal faculties were impaired. But may be considered with other competent evidenc |
If alcohol concentration was 0.05 but less than 0.08, to determine whether the person was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to were normal faculties were impaired, the alcohol concentration may be considered with other compent evidence such as: | Driving pattern, personal contact, and standardized field sobriety tests |
If alcohol concentration was 0.08 or higher the jury must presume that violator: | Was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that his/her normal faculties were impaired |
Typically when dealing with Standardized Field Sobriety Tests Miranda warnings are: | Not required prior to administering test, officers should always rely on agency policies and procedures |
Florida law provides the following definition of driving under the influence in F.S. section 316.193 as: | Under the influence of alcoholic beverages or any chemical in F.S. 877.111 that affects normal faculties; Blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 100mL of blood; Breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 210L of blood |
Any person who accepts the privilege of driving in FL has consented to submit to an approved chemical test to determine the alcohol content or the presence of a chemical and/or controlled substance in their: | Breath, blood or urine |
Implied Consent Warning states "If you fail to submit to the test I have requested of you, your privilege to operate a motor vehicle will be: | Suspended for a period of one (1) year for a first refusal, or eighteen (18) months if your privilege has been previously suspended as a result of a refusal to submit to a lawful test of the breath, blood, or urine |
Refusing to submit to the Implied Consent Warning test the violator is subject to the following outcomes: | Driver's License suspended for 1 year; if previously refused then 18 months; and also committing a misdemeanor (1st degree) |
The breath test will be administered by a permitted: | Breath Test Operator |
To determine whether the violator has previously refused to submit to a chemical breath/blood/urine test, the officer can discover or verify by checking: | FCIC/NCIC, DAVID, and/or criminal history |
The charge of a DUI Second(or subsequent) Refusal is what level of offense: | Misdemeanor of the first degree |
If a breath test result is below a 0.08 and an officer has probable cause to believe that the subject is impaired by a substance(s) other than alcohol the officer should: | Request a urine test |
Even if a breath sample was provided and the subject refuses the urine best the officer must charge him or her with a: | DUI Refusal |
According to F.S. 316.1932(1)(f)2.a and F.S. 316.1933(2)(a) the drawing of blood is authorized by: | Only specified personnel |
An officer is responsible for ensuring that the blood is drawn according to established procedures and needs to verify the following: | Blood kit is not expired, blood is collected in the appropriate vial, an authorized person collects the blood, the vial labels contain the subject's name, date, and time the blood was collected as well as the initials of the person drawing the blood |
If the driver of a commercial motor vehicle is arrested for a violation of F.S. 316.193 or is in possession of a controlled substance while operating or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle the driver may be subject to: | Loss of his or her commercial driver license (CDL) for a period of one year |
A commercial driver may have his or her CDL suspended for a period of one year if he or she is: | Arrested or is in possession of a controlled substance while operating or in actual physical control of vehicle; refuses to submit to breath/blood/urine test; driving a commercial motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or higher |
If an officer suspects a DUI violation he or she should conduct a DUI investigation utilize the same process for determining impairment, they are: | Conduct the SFSTs, follow arrest procedures, administer the chemical or physical tests, and completed documentation |
If an officer is involved in a DUI investigation with a driver under the age of 21 the officer should utilize the same process for determining impairment, they are: | Conduct the SFSTs, follow arrest procedures, administer the chemical or physical tests, and completed documentation |
A driver 21 or younger is subject to administrative penalties, the officer should take the license and issue a Notice of Suspension if: | The driver's alcohol concentration level is at or above 0.02; or he or she refuses to submit to a breath/blood/urine test |
According to Whren v. U.S., 517 U.S. 806 (1996), the court held that the standard for traffic stops was: | A reasonable suspicion was required; probable cause was not the threshold requirement |
The DUI detection process begins when the: | Officer first suspects that an individual may be driving under the influence and ends when the officer determines that there is or is not sufficient probable cause to arrest the subject for DUI |
The typical DUI contact involves how many phases? | Three phases |
The three phases of a typical DUI contact are: | Phase One: Vehicle in motion. Phase Two: Personal contact. Phase Three: Pre-arrest screening |
Which phase of the DUI contact is the following: You usually observe the driver operating the vehicle | Phase 1 |
Which phase of the DUI contact is the following: After you have stopped the vehicle, there usually is an opportunity to observe and speak with the driver face-to-face | Phase 2 |
Which phase of the DUI contact is the following: You usually administer some formal structured field sobriety tests to the driver to determine impairment | Phase 3 |
Phase One of the DUI contact is constructed of two tasks. The first part is to observe the vehicle in operation, the second task is: | Observe the stopping process |
List some of the questions that may be helpful during Phase 1 of the DUI contact process: | What is the vehicle doing? Do I have grounds to stop the vehicle? How does the driver respond to my signal to stop? How does the driver handle the vehicle during the stopping sequence? |
Phase Two of the DUI contact is constructed of two tasks. The first task is to observe and interview the driver face-to-face. The second tasks is: | Observe the driver's exit and walk from the vehicle |
List some of the questions that may be helpful during Phase 2 of the DUI contact process: | When I approach vehicle, what do I see? When I talk with the dr., what do I hear/see/smell? How does the dr. respond to my ?s ? Should I instruct dr. to exit the vehicle? How does the dr. exit? When the dr. walks toward the side of the road what do I see? |
Phase Three of the DUI contact is the task of: | Administer structured, formal psychophysical test. |
List some of the questions that may be helpful during Phase 3 of the DUI contact process: | Should I administer field sobriety tests to the driver? How does the driver perform those tests? What exactly did the driver do wrong when performing the tests? D I have probable cause to arrest for DUI? |
The questions that the officer should ask during the DUI contact process, can have one of three different outcomes and they are: | Yes- Do It Now, Wait- Look for Additional Evidence, No- Don't Do It |
The common effects of alcohol on the driver's mental and physical faculties lead to predictable driving violations and vehicle operating characteristics, these include: | Slow reactions, impaired judgment as evidenced by a willingness to take risks, impaired vision, poor coordination |
The visual cues to DUI are divided into 6 different categories and contain 24 cues, the categories are: | Problems maintaining proper lane position, Speed & braking problems, Vigilance problems, Judgment Problems, Post stop cues, Visual detection of DUI motorcyclists |
Weaving and swerving fall under what categories of Initial Observations: visual cues to DUI: | Problems maintaining proper lane position |
Occurs when the vehicle alternately moves toward one side of the roadway and then the other, creating a zigzag course. The pattern of lateral movement is relatively regular as one steering correction is closely followed by another | Weaving |
Abrupt turn away from a generally straight course. Might occur after period of drifting when driver discovers the approach of traffic in oncoming lane or discovers the vehicle is going of the road, turn is executed to return to traffic lane | Swerving |
Improper or Unsafe Lane Change falls under what categories of Initial Observations: visual cues to DUI: | Judgment Problems |
The driver takes risks or endangers others by frequently or abruptly changing lanes without regard to other motorists. | Improper or Unsafe Lane Change |
Medical conditions may mimic drug- or alcohol-induced impairment so officers should check for: | Medical restrictions on the driver's license and look for a medical alert ID bracelet |
Some medical conditions that may cause abnormal behavior that may mimic drug- or alcohol-induced impairment are: | Epilepsy, diabetes, injury to the head, or cognitive problems (dementia or Alzheimer's) |
The task in Phase Three of the DUI contact process is to administer three scientifically validated psychophysical (field) sobriety tests, they are: | Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Walk-and-Turn, One-Leg Stand |
During the HGN test the maximum number of clues that may appear in one eye is three, the maximum number for any subject is: | 6 |
Research shown to be accurate 77% of the time it is likely that the subject's alcohol concentration is above 0.10 if during the HGN: | Four or more clues are evident |
Methods of assessing a subject's mental and physical impairment: | Psychophysical tests |
Is a test that has been validated through extensive research by NHTSA and is divided attention test consists of two stages, they are: | Instructions Stage and Walking Stage |
In the Walking Stage of the Walk-and-Turn, describe actions the subject is to execute: | Take nine heel-to-toe steps, turn in a prescribed manner, and takes nine heel-to-toe steps back, while counting the steps out loud and watching his/her feet |
Research has been shown to be accurate 68% of the time that a subject is likely to be above a 0.10 alcohol concentration if during the Walk-and-Turn exhibits: | Two or more of the clues or cannot complete the test |
The decision whether to arrest the subject is the culmination of all the evidence accumulated during: | The DUI detection process |
When were extensive scientific research studies were sponsored by NHTSA through a contract with the Southern California Research Institute (SCRI) to determine roadside field sobriety teste were the most accurate | Beginning in late 1975. Published the following three reports: California- 1977(Lab); California- 1981(Lab & Field); Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, North Carolina- 1983 (Field) |
NHTSA analyzed the laboratory test data and found that the HGN by itself was accurate: | 77% |
NHTSA analyzed the laboratory test data and found that the WAT by itself was accurate: | 68% |
NHTSA analyzed the laboratory test data and found that the OLS by itself was accurate: | 65% |
NHTSA analyzed the laboratory test data and found that by combining the HGN and WAT was accurate: | 80% can be achieved |
The roadside test to detect HGN includes three clues, they are: | Lack of smooth pursuit, Distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, Onset of nystagmus prior to 45-degrees |
The officer can observe the eyes jerk of bounces as the eyes follow a smoothly moving stimulus | Lack of smooth pursuit |
Will be evident when the eye is held at maximum deviation for a minimum of four seconds: | Distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation |
If the point at which the eye is first seen jerking begins prior to 45 degrees | Onset of nystagmus prior to 45-degrees |
The stimulus should be positioned approximately 12-15 inches from: | Subject's nose and slightly above eye level |
Based on research the HGN Test is about 77% accurate, it is likely that the subject's alcohol concentration is above 0.10 if the officer observes: | Four or more cues |
Based on research the WAT Test is about 68% accurate, it is likely that the subject's alcohol concentration is above 0.10 if the officer observes: | Two or more clues on this test or fails to complete it |
Based on research subjects who display a combination of 4 or more clues of HGN and 2 or more clues on WOT can be classified as above 0.10 alcohol concentration about: | 80% of the time |
Relating to the OLS, research has shown a person with an alcohol concentration above 0.10 can maintain balance for up to: | 25 seconds, but seldom as long as 30 seconds |
Drugs that may impair drivers are classified into how many categories: | Seven broad categories |
Drugs are classified in a category based on: | The observable signs and symptoms they produce |
This category of drug includes a large number of different drugs, all of which slow down the operation of the brain and other parts of the central nervous system (CNS): | Central Nervous System Depressants |
Alcohol, Valium, Xanax and Soma are examples of: | Central Nervous System Depressants |
This category of drugs acts quite differently from depressants and impair drivers by speeding up or overstimulating the brain: | Central Nervous System Stimulants |
Cocaine and methamphetamine are examples of: | Central Nervous System Stimulants, CNS stimulants |
This category of drug includes both natural substances and synthetic chemicals, impair user's ability to perceive the world as it really is: | Hallucinogens |
Are examples of naturally occurring hallucinogens: | Peyote and psychedelic mushrooms |
Are examples of synthetic hallucinogens: | LSD and ecstasy |
A subject's eyes often disclose some important, easy-to-observe indicators of drug influence or medical impairment, there are especially five eye examinations helpful, they are: | Pupil size, Resting nystagmus, Tracking ability, Horizontal gaze nystagmus, Vertical gaze nystagmus |
The size of a person's pupils changes naturally in response to various light conditions, usually the diameter of the pupils: | Constricts in bright light and dilates in darkness |
If two pupils are noticeably different is size, the subject may be: | Suffering from an injury or medical condition, or have artificial eye |
Subjects under the influence of narcotic analgesics will have pupils that are generally: | Constricted |
Subjects under the influence of CNS stimulants, hallucinogens, or cannabis will generally have pupils that are: | Dilated |
Some indicators found in the driver's possession or in the vehicle that may suggest that an impaired driver may be under the influence of medication or affected by a medical condition, they are: | Absence of the odor of alcoholic beverages, medical alert bracelet, medical alert information card, prescription bottles, leftover pills, or drug paraphernalia |
The driver may be in possession of prescription medication legally, but if the effects of the prescribed medication impair the driver's ability to drive, the driver should be: | Treated the same as someone impaired by illegal drugs or alcohol |
The processing stage of an arrested subject is the bridge between: | The arrest and conviction of a DUI offender |
