This is correct. Over $750 is a point on your license even if you don't get a ticket. Scraping someones car in a parking lot can get you a point on your license in California.
I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do about it at this point. Sounds like there isn't, so I just guess that I'll have to let it be. My insurance is paying for it. Also, yes, I'm sure if I knew exactly what I was doing I could have stopped in my lane, but it was a two lane highway with no divider, so I really did not want to risk a head on collision with anybody. I have since been told that any breaking when you have a tire problem is a bad idea. I don't think I locked my breaks, but I'm sure having no tread on a tire causes odd traction issues.
