no, that's false.
Added: (in the US) the question is a TRUEstatement. However you will suffer the consequences of your state's motor vehiicle operators licensing laws which in most instances provides for an automatic suspension or revocation (depending on the state) for refusing to take an "implied consent" DUI test.
Yes, but they'll take you down the station then.
Another View: I believe that in ALL states, when you are issued your driver's license you are either required to sign a document, OR it is already worded into statute, that by accepting your license you have given your consent to being tested for drugs and alcohol in connection with the operation of your vehicle. Therefore, you can refuse all you want to, but you will suffer the consequences for doing so.
You can refuse a field sobriety test and that is your right and you cannot be punished from refusal alone. If you refuse a blood or urine or breathe test then you automatically have your driver's license suspended for a year.
you can always refuse a sobriety test no matter what state, but when u do so the fine u get is nonnegotiable. ====== Most states have what are known as implied consent laws, where, by driving on public roadways within that state, you essentially acknowledge your consent to be rendered a field sobriety test if pulled over. Refusing to take a field sobriety test will lead to arrest, and a good chance that a warrant will be obtained for them to take a BAC reading by means of involuntary blood test, as well as additional charges.

It depends on the state, but all the states I know have what is called an implied consent law. Basically most of these laws state that by having a license in the state you consent to comply with a breath and blood test. If you refuse they can suspend your license for up to a year. WHAT STATE ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT
Either you submit to the field sobriety test or you can go to the station and give blood, breath, or urine to determine your BAC.
It's not a sobriety test, it's meant to prove that you are intoxicated, not prove your sobriety. If you deny your field sobriety test or breathalyzer you can get your license suspended.
A police officer needs only reasonable suspicion of driving while intoxicated to ask you to submit to a sobriety test, actually called an SFST: Standard Field Sobriety Test. You are not obligated to submit to such a test. However, if you do not take the test, the officer will act on the observations he has already made of your behavior, and may arrest you for driving under the influence. He will then ask you to submit to a breath or blood test. If you refuse one of those, you will have your driver's license revoked.
Yes, in most countries you will have to do the test. If you refuse, the officer is usually empowered to arrest and take you to a police station for a blood test.

The only thing that can affect a sobriety test is not being sober.
Field sobriety tests are physical or cognitive tests that determine if a driver is intoxicated. Some examples of sobriety tests in Utah are the walk and turn test, the finger to nose test and the finger count test. Most field sobriety tests combine two or more of these methods.
It's called a 'sobriety test'
