If you have no other points on your record you should be fine. Here is a link for their Northern California contract:
http://www.nemsausa.org/userfiles/file/NEMSA Northern California CBA 2008-2011.pdf
They have specifics on what you can have on your record

Were you cited as at fault? That's the main thing the will determine points or not. But the fact that you're in CA, if anything got dinged on your MVR, you might be looked over compared to someone who's got the same experience as you but a clear MVR. Cheaper for the company.

States differ on how points and fault are assigned. Some may just give points for fault. It is my understanding a traffic violation is how points are assigned to a license. If a cop determines your at fault due to a traffic violation, you get points if you found guilty. I am certain Ney York and New Mexico are different.
An insurance company issues its own points based on risk and if your in an accident, your insurance points go up. Thats my understanding.

I was a cop and a claims invstigator....
In New York State, the DMV assess "points" for convictions of the traffic law.
The police take reports of accidents but do not assign "blame." That is a civil matter.
Police can charge people with an offense of the traffic law. That is a separate issue from "fault."
Only a court can find fault for an accident and in NYS a court can designate a party as partially at fault.
Customarily, insurance companies settle claims before court.
For underwriting, its a subjective system, they look at how the accident happened and how much property damage or injury was involved. Even if someone was not "at fault" but was in several accidents, they are conisdered a bad risk "calamity Jane" syndrome.
With insurance it is more the $ size of the claim then who was at fault.
The best I can tell the OP is be up front and let your prospective employer know what you learned so it would not happen again.
To everyone else, avoid the crash. Even if you have to slow down and let someone get ahead of you. Its better in the long run to keep back and let people go. Never follow to close, the rear car is always liable, you can not argue "they stopped short"; it is just not a viable argument....

We live in Canada and their rule is if its more then 50 % your fault you get 6 points, they said it was our fault because we should have been going slower for road conditions. I was kinda upset about it because SGI cant really expect us to be going slow as @ss when we are rushing our daughter to the ER with a Mid brake in her clavicle, we had our four ways on even though we were going the speed limit but they still put 6 points against his license. I guess they thing we should have been going slower then speed limit because it is winter. But what ever i guess
