It is not uncommon for a motorist whose faculties are not materially and appreciably impaired to exhibit the same clues police use to identify impaired drivers. The physiological response to being pulled over by police often activates the sympathetic nervous system triggering acute stress responses that mimic signs of impairment. The experiments used in the development of standardized field sobriety tests were performed in a lab omitting the fear of life-altering penalties as a consequence of failure. If driving privileges are suspended for refusing to submit a breath, blood, or urine sample for chemical testing or for registering an alcohol concentration of .15 or higher there are important filing deadlines that if missed will disqualify eligibility for the temporary restoration of driving privileges pending the result of a contested case hearing in the South Carolina Administrative Law Court.

Travis A. Newton Law P.A.

2007 - Current

A conviction for driving under the influence includes both criminal and civil penalties from the State of South Carolina and can have a negative impact on professional and educational opportunities long after sentencing and DMV penalties have expired. Anderson DUI Attorney Travis Newton believes standardized field sobriety tests are unreliable based on the methodology used in the development of the tests and the scripted instructions police officers are trained to deliver during DUI investigations. Attorney Newton is Lead Counsel Verified by Thomson Reuters for DUI Defense since 2015 and has presented DUI-related oral arguments before the South Carolina Court of Appeals. Anderson DUI Lawyer Travis Newton defends clients charged with driving under the influence in Upstate, South Carolina Summary and General Sessions Courts including the City of Anderson Municipal Court, City of Belton Municipal Court, Anderson Magistrate Court, and the Anderson County Court of General Sessions.
