It appears that your loss at the DMV was a refusal, but for clarification purposes in the event of losing on a .08 matter at the DMV, if there is no alcohol school required by the court (ie. based on a speed-ex conviction), then you would not be required to do the alcohol school by the DMV unless you wanted to get a restricted license. In the case of a refusal loss at the DMV, there is no option for restricted license.
