What is the ruling on not paying a fine for violating traffic laws?

Adherence to traffic laws is a religious obligation because their violation leads to harm to oneself and others, and because they are issued by the, ruler whose obedience is mandatory. As for the financial penalties imposed on violators of these laws, they fall under discretionary punishment with money, which some scholars have permitted. Therefore, if the state imposes them, it is not permissible to evade them.
