He got in his car and moved it off the street into a nearby parking lot. That would be another 3 points.
Actually, this statement isn't quite correct. If there's no personal injury it's perfectly acceptable to move the vehicles from the roadway in VA. You'll even see signs to that effect on most major routes. In your case however since PI was involved it shouldn't have been moved. That said, cops really won't cite someone for it unless they leave the scene, which in VA and involving personal injury is a felony.

Regardless, it's about whether you're ok - that's what counts. Good to hear that you are getting better.
