SFST is an acronym for...

• A. Standardized Field Sobriety Testing
• B. Standardized Field Sobriety Test
• C. Standard Field Sobriety Measurement
• D. Statewide Field Sobriety Testing

Answer: (A)

SFST refers to a standardized set of roadside assessments used to determine impairment. The phrasing with Testing emphasizes that it’s a program comprising multiple tests administered in the field, not just a single test. The standardization means the procedures, instructions, and scoring are uniform, which helps ensure reliability and supports probable-cause decisions for arrest. In practice, this approach includes tests such as horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk-and-turn, and the one-leg stand, all performed consistently in real-world traffic stops. The other options imply a single test, a measurement, or a statewide scope, which doesn’t capture the multi-test, field-based, standardized nature of the program.
