impairment science · driving cues · checkpoints · BAC research
The broader NHTSA and DOT research library — alcohol-and-drug impairment studies, the driving-cue detection guides, roadblock/checkpoint studies, and the BAC science underneath the courtroom shorthand.
70 documents in this topic.
What this material establishes
It sets out the underlying science on alcohol, drugs, driving performance, and the detection cues officers are trained to use.
How it's used in a DUI defense
The research library frames the science for the fact-finder — how weak an individual driving cue actually is (with the government's own stated probabilities), how impairment correlates and doesn't with a given BAC, and where checkpoint and detection methods fall short. It is the primary-source counterweight to the courtroom shorthand that treats every cue and every reading as conclusive.
