False, will not
T/F
Upon reaching peak value, an average person’s BAC will decline approximately 0.015 percent per hour.
True
if there was at the time of a chemical test less than 0.05 percent by weight of alcohol in the person’s blood, it (shall/should/may) be presumed that the person was not under the influence
Shall
A driver operating his/her vehicle in any manner which would raise a doubt as to his/her sobriety, or other abnormal conditions, (shall/should/may) be stopped in order to determine the cause for the irregular driving

True
T/F
Based on scientific research, the Walk and Turn SFST is considered to be the most sensitive psychophysical test.

77%
4 of 6
(%) percent of subjects who exhibit at least (#) of the following (#) validated clues in the walk and turn will have a BAC at or above 0.10 percent:

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) will be present with CNS depressants, vertical nystagmus may be present with high dosages.
True
