There are two
scoring factors that can assessed to the suspect's performance
during the Instruction Phase. If the suspect cannot
keep balance while listening to the instructions, that
is when his feet actually break apart. This item is
only scored if the suspect does not maintain the heel
to toe position throughout the instructions. The officer
is trained to be conservative in their scoring and not
to score a point if the suspect sways or uses the arms
to balance but maintains the starting position during
this stage. |
