Driving under the influence (DUI) is not the same as prescribed concentration of alcohol (PCA) offences.
\n\nOn the other hand, PCA offences such as low, mid, or high range drinking driving require police to prove that your blood alcohol concentration was in a normal average, DUI charges do not require police to prove that you were contrived by a specific amount of alcohol - only that you were somehow under the influence of an alcohol or drugs.
\n\n
\n\nRather than a breath test, DUI charges, in general, are based on police observations regarding your driving, actions or demeanour which highlight that you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
\n\nCharges of DUI usually arise when procedures for PCA charges are not in compliance with; in an instance, if you are breath tested at the police station more than 2 hours after driving, or where you are suspected by the police that you are affected by prescription medication or other drugs.
