Your use of exhibiting signs of impairment is a little bit loose here. Suspicion is just that, a suspicion of consumption of alcohol. If you are exhibiting signs of impairment in theory that should be enough to form grounds and arrest for impaired driving without use of a roadside test.
At least that's how it has been described to me. I would say that Ironhorse is right that he was likely required to provide a roadside due to his eyes being crazy red and being very tired.
