Do I have to submit to field sobriety tests, like the one-leg stand, walk and turn, etc.?
You are not legally required to take a field sobriety test in Pennsylvania, and you can respectfully and politely decline to take it. However, you are required to take chemical tests to determine your blood alcohol concentration (“BAC”). If you refuse to take a chemical test, there are serious consequences, such as the loss of your driver’s license for a year. Remember: always be polite and courteous to the officer.
