Seated SFST Battery Course
This very unique course if going to teach you how to administer field sobriety tests at times when you cannot administer them to someone standing along the road. These tests were first developed by the National Association
of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). This was designed to be able to administer SFST to occupants of
boats on the water. One can’t do the walk and turn in a recreation boat that is moving and taking
them to the doctor, is time-consuming.
Please don’t just think about boating though. My first DUI arrest was a man confined to a wheelchair. Also think
of amputees or people who complain about chronic pain in their ankle, knee hip etc. Also, the elderly. Elderly people drink, become intoxicated, and drive just like everyone else does. They have also compiled a list of injuries
from living life. When it’s time to administer the Field Sobriety Test, it’s nice to have some that you can use that
don’t require balance.
