Is driving on the shoulder to approach a right-turn lane legal?

Refer to http://www.statesman.com/news/local/is- … 51766.html
This guy convinced a judge it is legal to drive his car on the paved shoulder of Loop 360 to make a right turn in heavy traffic.  It sets a bad precedent that can threaten legitimate cyclists.
