  fine  or penalty collected under a sentence or judgment of conviction of
  a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or any  local  law,
  ordinance,  order,  rule  or  regulation  made  by  local authorities in
  relation to traffic or the deposit of bail of a person  charged  with  a
  violation  of  any  such provision, local law, ordinance, order, rule or
