So anyone with mobility issues shouldn't drive? I'm 58 - 3 prior back surgeries and permanent nerve damage - I can't stand on one leg, walk heel toe either. So that means I can't drive? That's rather short sighted maybe? If you suffer a physical disability, you just gonna stop driving and having a life cuz you can't pass the physical requirements of DUI test even when dead sober? Doubt it dude
For clarification, if you use your ailments as an excuse when failing DUI tests (and there are more than mobility tests) then, no, you shouldn’t be driving. That is my point.
I didn't read it that way. She agreed to any other breathalyzer or blood/urine tests they wanted. She merely pointed out that older people or those with mobility issues won't pass the physical tests they want to use. You do realize that merely failing or being physically unable to perform those specific things will get you arrested. Even if you pass a breathalyzer. Right? Then all the ensuing costs are still on you to somehow pay until any additional tests come back - like bail? Easy to judge when you haven't walked in those shoes. Your attitude may change once YOU are old and physically impaired.

Actually I am old and I am physically impaired. And a woman to boot. And am well aware how DUI tests works. But thank you for your insight.
I'm a woman to boot as well! And my "insight" comes from personal experience.
