Not sure about England/Wales but in Scotland the options when charged with something are:
- Released and a report sent to the PF. You will then be summoned to appear at Court
- Released and given a specific day to appear at Court (normally 14-21 days away)
- Held in custody until the next court sitting
It all depends of the offence and previous record of the accused. Normally the 2nd option is taking for drunk driving but if the reading is exceptionally high, the driver has previous for traffic offences or is disqualified he'll be kept in till the next lawful day.
