I was very present and I apologize. >> An officer hears a crash and finds a driver who says she looked down at a text and hit another car. In New Jersey, taking your eyes off the road to read a message is the kind of careless choice that can be charged as reckless driving. And once a collision happens, the law requires every driver to stop and stay. Yeah, for sure. away from the scene is a separate offense on its own. >> You never look at a text. >> Was he involved?

This officer is going to perform a field sobriety test on you. Is that okay? Make sure you're safe. >> Before any test the officer explains what comes next. Under New Jersey law anyone who drives has already agreed to submit to testing if an officer suspects impairment. This is called implied consent. These roadside exercises are not a trick. They measure one thing. Whether a person is safe to operate a vehicle right now. The field sobriety tests are scored the same way every time. A real injury does not end the evaluation. The officer simply notes it and keeps going. What he is watching for is simple. Stepping off the line, starting too soon, and missing the count are the clues that a driver cannot follow basic instructions. >> Thank you. >> You may begin when you're ready.
