Commercial insurance is forbidden (haram). As for financial penalties (ta'zir bi al-mal) for traffic violations, most scholars have prohibited them, while some have permitted them. If a Muslim is compelled to pay a sum of money for commercial insurance or for unlawful violations, there is no sin upon him for doing so.
