Side Pull
Is it illegal to pull to one side of the road and take a nap in his car?

I wondered if I could get a ticket or anything cuz sometimes I sooo tired while driving and I do not want to pay $ 50 just for a couple of hours. if I pulled to the side of the road and took a nap in my car, which police or someone say something? Is it illegal?

Turning a highway is illegal to stop on the shoulder, except in an emergency. There is a very good reason. Me going home on Christmas Eve several years ago and met with an accident. A family was traveling and tired so she took on the shoulder when he was very wide and went to sleep. While there, a drunk rear-ended them. One person died in the car. Of course, the drunk was good. If you can not find an area rest, I recommend a cheap hotel. Any road is dangerous, as is sleeping alone in a dark, empty parking lot. Just bring some emergency money with you (hotel, car emergency funds) and plan your trip so you can plan on the rest stops or truck stops will be. This way you can stop, where it is safe before you get too tired to continue.
