Wow, hope your CDL driver had flashers going and was putting out flares or cautionary signs. If so - and roadside assistance had been called for - the appeal should be a no-brainer. Could the driver have reasonably foreseen he
would not break down at a more critical traffic location? If the answer is "No" under the facts as presented he chose the proper action, and though wilfull it was not with an unlawful intent. In my view, but what do I know?
You are right, though, that if upheld for a commercial rig it would be considered a minor moving violation, ergo a 2 pointer.
