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.
The Army form for the standard field sobriety test is typically known as the DD Form 2624, which is used for drug and alcohol testing within the military. However, the specific procedures and assessments for field sobriety tests are generally standardized and may not have a dedicated Army form. Instead, military personnel are trained to conduct field sobriety tests following the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines, which include tests like the horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk-and-turn, and one-leg stand.

Police officers often choose to conduct field sobriety tests instead of using a breathalyzer to determine if a driver is under the influence of alcohol because field sobriety tests can provide additional evidence of impairment beyond just the blood alcohol level. These tests can help officers assess a driver's physical coordination, balance, and cognitive abilities, providing a more comprehensive evaluation of their impairment level.
