Clarifying Dina D’Malchusa Dina

Rabbi Stoll began the shiur by stating what Dina D’Malchusa Dina is not: An overall primacy to secular law. Where then, does it apply? Is it limited to situations of benefit to the government, or even to the function of society as a whole? Or does it extend to other monetary laws? Are there areas outside monetary law where it would apply? Speed limits, a military draft?
