Sorry on my berry so my apologies for typos.I was on bayview just south of loblaws, lady infront wasn't paying attention and locked her breaks. I slammed my breaks and went into a skif. Virtually no damage to her car. My bike is totalled. I asked for. A witness to call the cops. Next thing I know I'm charged with careless driving.Honest to god I was under the speed limit with enough distance. Bike is gone... Insurance is only liability so I'm 4g out of pocket with a charge.Can it get any worse?

Sorry to hear about your predicament. ***** happens, learn from your mistake and move on.

As for the charge, take some time to read Rob's (and other very informative) posts in the "Laws / Regulations / HTA" Section, and other resources available via the web. You will learn a LOT about your options in fighting the charge.
I was in a VERY similar situation (details of which I won't get into) got the same charge and was able to beat the charge 100% on my own despite the fact that I had never been in a court room in my life. Do your due diligence, get your facts straight and deal with the issue at hand.

You cannot change the past but you can make the best of the situation to prevent things from getting worst. Just my $0.02

I'm confused - are breaks the same thing as brakes?

You're on a wind up. Aren't you? Please, tell me you are.
