Some laws coincide with Buddhist precepts for e.g. penalizing murder and theft.
But there are other laws like traffic rules or Covid-19 rules which have no direct equivalent in Buddhism.
However, we tend to frown upon people who disobey traffic rules and sometimes see them as immoral if they keep deliberately breaking traffic rules repeatedly.
Are breaking traffic rules deliberately and repeatedly a violation of Buddhist precepts and virtues? Is it a violation of Right Action?
If it is not a violation of Buddhist precepts, virtues and Right Action, then is it a sign of a unwholesome or unskillful mindset from a Buddhist perspective? And why?
