Reckless driving has skyrocketed in recent years and has become an epidemic. Although people think of this as a Milwaukee/Madison problem, it’s hitting Racine and Kenosha Counties, too.
 
This week, the Judiciary and Public Safety Committee that I chair heard two bills aimed at correcting this increasingly widespread problem. Senate Bill 90 raises the fines and penalties for reckless driving. Senate Bill 92 allows communities to impound the vehicles of repeat reckless drivers. Combined, these bills will give police more tools to stop reckless driving through our neighborhoods.
