The three main standardized tests in the U.S. are: the one leg stand test, the walk and turn test, and the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. In the one leg stand, drivers are asked to remain balanced on one leg while counting out loud. This is a divided attention test which people who are intoxicated find difficult to perform. The walk and turn test is another divided attention test. The law enforcement officer will ask the suspected drunk driver to walk heel-to-toe while counting their steps out loud. They must maintain their balance while walking on the imaginary line. Lastly, the horizontal gaze nystagmus test looks for involuntary jerking while the individual follows a pen or other object with their gaze.
