These are the 8 clues that officers are trained to observe during the administration of the walk-and-turn test in DUI investigations: Cannot keep balance while listening to the instructions. Record this clue if the suspect does not maintain the heel-to-toe position throughout the instructions. (Feet must actually break apart.) Do not record this clue if the suspect sways or uses the arms to balance but maintains the heel-to-toe position. Starts before the instructions are finished. The impaired person may also keep balance, but not listen to the instructions. Since you specifically instructed the suspect not to start walking “until I tell you to begin,” record this clue if the suspect does not wait. Stops while walking. The suspect pauses for several seconds. Do not record this clue if the suspect is merely walking slowly. Does not touch heel-to-toe. The suspect leaves a space of more than one-half inch between the heel and toe on any step. Steps of the line. The suspects steps so that one foot is entirely off the line. Uses arms to balance. The suspect raises one or both arms more than 6 inches from the sides in order to maintain balance. Improper turn. The suspect removes the front foot from the line while turning. Also record this clue if the suspect has not followed directions as demonstrated, i.e., spins or pivots around. Incorrect number of steps. Record this clue if the suspect takes more or fewer than nine steps in either direction.
