Eek.
Don't just pay the ticket. Set a court date to fight it and when you're there ask to speak to the prosecutor and tell him you don't want to get the points associated with it. In most cases, they'll downgrade it to another offense where you may have to pay a greater fine, but no points on your driving record. Look into it first though because I know this works for speeding tickets, but I'm not sure about a ticket for careless driving.
