Field impairment assessment: A field impairment assessment is the set of roadside tests police may use if they think someone is impaired by drugs.

This helps patients understand what can happen in a roadside stop.

GOV.UK says police can stop drivers and ask them to do a field impairment assessment.

Passing or failing is not the only issue; blood or urine testing may follow.
