Abstract

This report presents the results of a study designed to evaluate a variety of potential screening procedures police officers could use at the brief initial stop at a sobriety checkpoint to discriminate between impaired and sober drivers. The potential checkpoint screening procedures examined in the study included the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, observations of driving and stopping behavior, the driver's personal appearance, a divided attention task and a passive alcohol sensor.
