"The Pen Test" by Salem, NH DWI and Criminal Defense Lawyer Mark Stevens 603-893-0074

Pen Tests Go Wrong, Even When Officers Do Them Right

The Pen Test is the first of a series of so-called  "field sobriety tests," and is also called the horizontal gaze nystagmus test; a driver typically endures

this test at the roadside and is also commonly called the "HGN" or

"Gaze" test. This is performed by the officer holding a pen or his

finger about a foot from the driver's face, while waving it slowly

from side to side several times. The officer typically tells the

driver to stand with feet together with arms by your side, and

to follow his pen with eyes only (in other words, don't move your

head). 

The police are trained to call their pen a "stimulus" in order

to make the exercise sound more scientifically reliable than it is.

It is designed to check for a "jerking of the pupils" during the pen

wavings back and forth.   Most drivers assume they've passed "The Pen 

Test" because they complied with the officer's instructions to hold their 

head still.

However, contrary to assumption; any minor jerking of the

pupils can be caused by hundreds of reasons other than alcohol or

drug consumption, and will ultimately cause any driver to fail this

test. One thing to watch out for just before you unintentionally

oblige to "The Pen Test" is a request by the police to "check your

eyes". This sounds pretty innocuous, but it is really just a way to

get you to comply with the "The Pen Test" which you CANNOT be forced

to do. 

YOU CANNOT BE FORCED TO SUBMIT TO THE PEN TEST OR ANY OTHER "FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS" AT THE ROADSIDE!!!!
