What would you guys do?

Ok basically last summer my bike was having idle problems, and would die whenever I came to a stop. So on my way home on the fwy, there was bumper to bumper traffic on the junction on ramp, which happened to be on an incline. It was hot as fuck, so I didn't wanna stop and have my bike die, nor did I wanna hold up traffic either. So I slowly (like 5mph) took the shoulder. That's where they got me.

Now I'm going to court to contest the ticket this week. I'm gonna tell the judge the condition of my bike at the time, and that I only did what I did to avoid any further traffic complications. The chipper wasn't havin it that day, but hopefully the court would consider it.
