Is Failure to yield to stationary emergency vehicle a moving violation and can I fight it if I can prove I just got on highway?

I had just gotten onto the Oklahoma US 69 from getting gas and less than a mile there were two police vehicles on the side of the road, I couldn’t move to the left because cars were going around me as I still hadn’t reached the speed limit (which was 55 I was going 45), and because I was setting my gps, after passing the police they pulled me over, the officer came to my window asking why I hadn’t pulled over immediately I stated that I thought they were going to go around me and didn’t think I had done anything wrong, he said I should have changed lanes to pass him and I replied I couldn’t there were cars there he responded I should have slowed down and I stated I wasn’t going that fast not even the speed limit yet, he then asked for my license and insurance and if I had any illegal substances in my car or outstanding tickets or warrants, I said no and he said we will see about that, he returned to his car, when he came with the ticket he had me sign for it and continued to ask me questions like why I was driving alone and all sorts of things not all pertaining to my driving or vehicle, he finally gave me the ticket and asked to search the car, I was afraid to say no

improper passing of a stationary emergency vehicle is one point and I would suggest getting a lawyer to get the ticket taken care of than fighting it yourself. The testimony of you versus police officer in court usually goes in favor of police officer.
