In previous episodes of the DUI 360 series, Steve and Jeff answered the very important question - to blow, or not to blow. So what could be an even bigger question when someone is pulled over and asked, "have you been drinking tonight?"

To FST, or not to FST. The FST, which stands for Field Sobriety Test, is the stuff from which funny outtakes of "Cops" episodes are made.

But you only had a couple of drinks, and the officer is just asking for a quick test and then you can be on your way. Shouldn't be an issue, right? And at least it's not a breathalyzer. Besides, what choice do you have - you have to take it, right?

Steve and Jeff set the record straight - off the record, but on the air - and what they have to say will surprise you.
