So, contact the court and tell them that you want a formal hearing on the ticket. You can tell the judge your story. The police officer that issued the ticket will tell his side (of how he deterimined you to be at fault). The judge will decide whose story makes the most sense. Careless driving does sound a bit extreme for a parking lot fender bender. You may want to consult an attorney, if this is a big fine/points violation that you can't afford to have on your driving record.
