I have been charged with a DUI in Vermont. I feel like I passed all of the standard field sobriety tests. Can I still be charged with a DUI in Vermont?

Yes. The standard field sobriety tests are incredibly difficult to perform flawlessly. You may think that you touched heel to toe on every step of the Walk and Turn test and turned perfectly, but the officer may assess points or “clues” against you for raising your hands too high from your side or for breaking the start position or even for beginning the test before you were told to do so.
