Certain offenses, DUI is one, FLEEING & ELUDING is another will automatically cause the DMV to revoke your driving privileges.
You were probably allowed to cop to a lesser or included offense, but the top charge is what caused you to lose your license. Worse yet, in FL, F&E is a felony.
You're paying a pretty price for stupidity.
Lesson learned here, when the bubble gum lights flash pull over.
Florida Driver License Revocation for Fleeing and Attempting to Elude
Under Florida State Statute 316.1935(5), the court must revoke the driver's license for a period not less than 1 year nor exceeding 5 years, the driver's license of any operator of a motor vehicle convicted of a violation of 316.1935(1), 316.1935(2), 316.1935(3), or 316.1935(4).
The court proceeding addressed the citation.
The DMV action addressed the administrative proceedings.

The FL DMV site has your answers.
You've received a two part punishment.

army judge probably has this one right on target, even though you are also referring to alternative sentencing. See the statute below.
322.26 Mandatory revocation of license by department.--The department shall forthwith revoke the license or driving privilege of any person upon receiving a record of such person's conviction of any of the following offenses:
(1)(a) Murder resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle, DUI manslaughter where the conviction represents a subsequent DUI-related conviction, or a fourth violation of s. 316.193 or former s. 316.1931. For such cases, the revocation of the driver's license or driving privilege shall be permanent.
(b) Manslaughter resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.
(2) Driving a motor vehicle or being in actual physical control thereof, or entering a plea of nolo contendere, said plea being accepted by the court and said court entering a fine or sentence to a charge of driving, while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or a substance controlled under chapter 893, or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or a substance controlled under chapter 893. In any case where DUI manslaughter occurs and the person has no prior convictions for DUI-related offenses, the revocation of the license or driving privilege shall be permanent, except as provided for in s. 322.271(4).
