Okay. All right, we'll try it again, okay? All right. All right, eyes and eyes only, okay? Eyes and eyes only. Can you just move your eyes? We're going to start again. So, keep your head still, okay? So, your head's going to face me the whole time. It's not going to move. And you're going to move your eyes to follow my finger. You're not going to move your um head at all. Do you understand? Okay. Eyes and eyes only. Why does a simple brake light stop shift so quickly when alcohol odor appears? What if one late-night drink after work made following basic eye instructions suddenly difficult? Okay. So, the next test what we're going to do, all right, you're going to keep your hands by your sides, okay? And while we're standing here, you're going to take your right foot and you're going to put it in front of your left foot like this, and your right foot is going to touch the toe of your left shoe. Do you understand? All right, so stand with your hands by your side like you were before, and you're going to take that right heel and have it touch the toe of your left foot. Can you do that for me? Like that? You're going to take your right foot. You're going to keep your left foot here. You're going to put your right foot right in front of your left foot like this. You can go ahead and do that now. You stay facing me, okay? You're going to take your right foot. You're going to put it right in front of your left foot with your heel touching. Okay, now you're going to stay like that while I explain the rest of the test. Do you understand? Okay. Nope, go back. You're going to do your right foot in front of your left. There you go. So, right heel's going to touch your left toe, and you're going to keep it like this while I explain. You're not going to move. Do you understand? Okay, that that that was a yes? Okay. So, what you're going to do is you're going to stay like that, okay? If you're getting unbalanced, cuz I see you're swaying a little bit, just go ahead and it's okay to step to catch your balance, but then I want you need back in line like this, okay? Cuz I don't want you to fall cuz you're sweating, okay? Um so you're going to start like this, like we're starting here now, with your left foot behind your uh right heel. And you're going to take nine heel-to-toe steps, okay? I'm going to demonstrate for you, but I'm going to do three steps. You're going to do nine, okay? So what you're going to do is going to look like this. One, two, three. When you get to this point, you're going to keep your front foot on the ground, and you're going to take a series of small steps like this. Okay? Go ahead and stay in that starting position for me. Okay? You're going to take a series of small steps like this, and put that foot right in front, and go one, two, three. You're going to keep your hands by your side the entire time, all right? And you're going to do nine steps. So I did three to show you, but you're going to do nine steps. When you get going to get to the end, you're going to do those series of small steps to turn around, and continue the nine steps back. Do you understand everything I explained? All right. When you're ready, you're more than welcome to begin, okay? Ready? So I did three, you're going to do nine steps, okay? Does that make sense? Do you want me to explain it again? Yeah. Okay. So you're going to have that right heel touching that left foot, just like you're doing right now, okay? And you're going to do a series of nine steps. So I'm going to do three, you do nine. So one, two, three. When you get to this point, that front foot's going to stay like this, it's not going to move off the ground, and you're going to spin like this, with that front foot planted. When you turn around, your other foot's going to go right in front of that planted foot, and you're going to go one, two, three, with your nine heel-to-toe steps back, okay? So you're going to do nine, I did three. Do you understand that? Okay. When you're ready, if you could just line up your heel-to-toe for me, cuz they're not exactly aligned, they're kind of next to each other. Go ahead, heel-to-toe like this, nice and straight. All right, when you're ready, you can start. Nine? Yes, you're going to do nine. You're going to keep your hands by your side and you're going to do nine steps. Okay? So, we're going to like I said before, we're going to put that right heel touching that left toe like this. Can you get in that starting position for me? You're going to take your right heel and have it touch your left toe. Okay. And then if you could just line them up nice and straight for me. There you go. And when you're ready, you can begin. And you're going to do nine steps. Yeah, I'm ready. Okay, so you could begin. Can you count out loud, too? Can you count your steps out loud for me? What? Let's start over, okay? I need you to count your steps. Do you remember when I did it? We did one, two, three and I verbally said the uh number of steps out loud. I need you to do the same thing. Does that make sense? So, you're going to say, "Ready?" I'm like this. You're "One." Cuz that's my first step. "Two." That's my second step. And "Three." That's my third step. Okay? And you're going to go to nine. Then you're going to say each step as you take it. Does that make sense? You're telling me stop? I'm not going to tell you anything, okay? You're going to do nine steps, make your turn and do nine steps back. Take our right heel and have it touch our left toe and put our hands right by our side. Can you do that for me? Go ahead. You could do it. What? Yep, so hands by your side and you're going to take your right heel and make it touch your left toe and stand in a straight line. We did that. Yep, so that's perfect. Are you You're getting a little wobbly again? Okay. All right, so when you're ready, you can start and take your nine steps. Oh, okay. So, we're going to go back in that starting position, okay? So, we're going to take our right heel and have it touch our left toe. Can you do that again for me? Just like Do you see my feet? All right, so that's perfect. You're nice lined up. When you're ready, you could start taking your uh steps. Okay. So, So, going to explain it again. So, we're going to go ahead and get in that starting position, okay? So, this is my I'm going to do it next to you so you can see me a little bit better, okay? So, I'm going to go like this, all right? My right heel is touching my left toe. See how they're touching and they're nice and straight? I'm going to say you can begin. So, at that point you're going to start taking your steps, okay? We're not going to step back like this. We're just going to start the steps uh the steps. So, one, two, three. Okay? Does that make sense? All right, so go ahead and put your hands by your side and we're going to take that right foot again and put it right in front of that left toe. You can go ahead and do that. Okay. Can you count out loud for me? Yeah. Okay. Can you say your steps out loud? Mhm. Okay. Yeah, that's it. So, do I now go back? You can continue the test. Oh. Okay. And you're understanding what I'm saying, right? All right, perfect. So, um again, if you don't understand something I'm saying I'm saying, I want you to let me know you don't understand, okay? Cuz I'm more than happy to repeat it to you, all right? So, we're going to do another test, all right? So, I'm going to give you a whole other set of instructions. So, what I want you to do now is keep your hands by your side, okay? You're doing great. And you're going to when you're ready, I'm going to demonstrate it first, okay? You're going to pick one of your feet. You could choose which foot, okay? You're going to take that foot and you're going to raise it approximately 6 in off the ground keeping your leg nice and straight like this. Do you understand so far? All right, when I tell you to begin, you're going to keep your hands by your side and you're going to count 1 1,000, 2 1,000, 3 1,000. You're going to say that out loud. Does that make sense? You're understanding everything so far? So, you're going to keep counting until we tell you to stop, all right? So, you're going to keep going 1 1,000, 2 1,000, 3 1,000 and keep going until we tell you not to count anymore or put your foot down, okay? If at any point during the test, you lose your balance, it's okay to put your foot down, but once you're balanced again, I would like you to pick it up and just keep going with the test where you stopped. Does that make sense? Okay. Someone have a watch? Yeah, I do. Okay. All right. When we say go, you're going to start the test and you understand everything I explained, correct? Okay. Ready. All right. Ready? Yeah. Begin. Okay. So, we're done with that test. You can go back. Go ahead back. All right. And you understand what I'm explaining to you, right? All right.

So, this is where our feet are going to be together and our hands are going to be by our side and we're going to pick one of our feet, whichever one you're more comfortable with, and we're going to raise it off the ground 6 in like this. Can you see what I'm doing? All right. And then we're going to count 1 1,000, 2 1,000, 3 1,000. And we're going to keep counting until we're told to stop. Do you understand what I'm saying? Okay.
