the state the ticket was issued was Virginia and the charge is "disobeying" traffic signs. What occurred was that I pulled over to the shoulder briefly to rest due to being tired, I had been there approximately 5 minutes when the officer knocked on my window and when he did this I at that moment had my eyes closed, but had not gone to sleep and was getting ready to start my vehicle back up to start driving. The signs only say that the shoulder is for emergency stopping only, granted they are not rest stops, but when fatigued, is it not better to pull over for a moment then be a risk? I drive for my work and prefer to keep points off of my record, do I have any substance to battle the ticket on or would it be a losing cause to fight it? Thank you!
