What is the ruling on not respecting some traffic laws if this does not lead to accidents?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Traffic laws were enacted to control traffic, organize its flow, and avoid chaos and accidents. A driver's violation of these laws often leads to harm to himself or others, and one cannot rely on the individual discretion of drivers. Therefore, adherence to traffic rules is obligatory, especially regarding running red lights, excessive speeding, and similar actions that are likely to cause harm.
