VH-Cheer Up,
The following is in reference to NSW legislation:
PCA = Drive with either Low, Medium or High range of Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol obtained by either bloodtest or breathanalysis.
DUI = Drive Under the Influence of intoxicating liquor. Evidence provided by Police re observations of your state of sobriety. Eg: Unsteady, smell of intoxicating liquor, slurred speech etc.. without reference to a positive blood alcohol analysis. This type of charge was all that was used before the invention of breathanalysis equipment.
DUI is very rarely applied these days in reference to drink driving. Only used when a breath or blood test is unable to be obtained for whatever reason. Although, I understand it has been extended to be used in reference to driving under the influence of drugs, albeit separate legislation.
