When you are charged with a federal offense as opposed to a state offense.
Yes, that's correct. A Zero Tolerance offense typically refers to underage drinking and driving, where the driver is found to have any measurable amount of alcohol in their system. For a second or subsequent offense, the penalty often involves a 1-year suspension of driving privileges.
In most states DUI can be charged and tried as either a traffic offense OR a criminal offense. It will depend on HOW you were charged.
Yes. If further investigation of the offense discloses probable cause that you were involved in the offense you certainly can be charged at that time.

Your first offense is the FIRST offense/crime you were ever arrested for and charged with. Your SECOND offense/crime is the second time you were ever arrested and charged for. And so on...... . Third - Fourth - etc. The more offenses you have on your record, the harsher your sentences will subsequently become.

A possession offense is usually being charged of possessing something illegal in the country you are being charged such as drugs, or paraphernalia (property/images etc...) depending on what the possession is and the amount of what ever it is you are charged with possessing it can be a minor or a federal offense. Possession with intent to distribute can in some places earn you a life sentence or a sentence of death (ex: Thailand).
