In the SFST Walk and Turn test, how many steps must the suspect take back down the line?

  1. Five steps

  2. Seven steps

  3. Eight steps

  4. Nine steps

The correct answer is: Nine steps

In the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) Walk and Turn test, the suspect is required to take nine steps back down the line. This part of the test is designed to assess the suspect's ability to follow directions and maintain balance, which can be indicators of impairment. By instructing the suspect to take nine steps, the test effectively evaluates both their physical coordination and cognitive functioning as they need to count the steps while performing a precise movement. This specific number adds to the reliability of the test in distinguishing between sober and impaired individuals.
