One of the ways police determine if you're under the influence is by conducting field sobriety tests and today we want you to understand the walk and turn test. 🥸

The officer will ask you to walk in a straight line, heel-to-toe, for 9 steps, with your arms at your side. Then you turn around and walk back to the start in the same fashion.🚶🏽‍➡️
