Thank you. That definitely alleviates my concerns.

Overthinking.

"On (date) in (city, state), I received a traffic citation for following too closely. I paid the fine by mail."

Srsly. They're just going to glance at it, see that it's not a big deal, and turn the page. If you had a history of citations that suggested aggressive, douchey driving, you might have cause to be worried. If it's a one off on an otherwise clean driving record, no one will care.
