Many lawyers advise that you never take one of those "field sobriety tests" at any time

Interesting, and thanks for the info. But does a refusal mean the cops have the right to drag you down to the station for other tests?

Depends upon the state.

Because of some pre-existing conditions, it's impossible for me to "pass" a field sobriety test, unless the officer is being extremely generous.

It hasn't come up for me yet, but I'll absolutely refuse to perform like a trained monkey for them if it does.
