feel relaxed yes how much do you weigh right now how did you say I don't remember about 180 perhaps 185 okay have you ever uh let me put it through you this way do you think you did these evaluations good bad okay how do you think you did well depends upon what standard you mean oh about your standard I would say I faltered most in the uh Heel To Toe walk and other slight perception was slightly off as far as the finger to the nose but overall for 10 ounces I would cited rather well you know as as far as a Continuum well if you were stopped on the road by a police officer and he went through this do you think that he would arrest you or not arrest you I would think that I would be one of the borderline cases and through extreme um snow job that I might be able to avoid arrest depending upon the uh whether or not I went in for a breathalizer or not and if I did I think I would be on a borderline case really perhaps more in my favor right I'm not sure well he's going to have to make his decision to arrest you or not arrest you even before you get a chemical test now say you he'd be a borderline G I would think so depending upon what he arrested me for if he took me in I would think perhaps I might not be able to be arrested as under the influence of alcohol or drunk and driving but perhaps less do you think he should arrest you uh I would say so probably yeah looking not me but everybody else as most people look at but you you feel now and how you acting now and so forth do you think that you should be arrested for driving an inflence it's questionable have you ever felt this way before yes you ever driven in this condition before yeah do you think you could drive safely now not as safely as I should feel that most people should drive you know would you drive now probably okay
