Madison, WI – A Madison Police officer pulled over a driver reportedly going 93 mph in a 55 mph zone on the Beltline, discovering two unrestrained children inside the vehicle, authorities said.
According to the Madison Police Department, the traffic stop occurred during proactive enforcement efforts to curb speeding. Officers said a 3-year-old was not in a required child safety seat, while a 1-year-old was in a seat but not properly buckled.
The driver was cited for reckless driving, operating with a revoked license, and speeding. Police also issued two additional violations related to child safety seat compliance.
Wisconsin law requires children under the age of 8 to be properly restrained in an approved car or booster seat. Failure to do so can result in fines and increased risk of injury in crashes.
Police highlighted the Safe Kids Madison Area Coalition, which provides car seats and safety checks for families in need. Residents can contact for more information on available programs.
Speeding on the Beltline remains a recurring concern, officers said, with enforcement continuing throughout the week.
