As traffic stops go, this was an easy call. A Wauwatosa patrol officer hit the flashing lights a moment after a speeding SUV passed him on the right – going in the opposite direction. At 2:10 a.m. Saturday, a 40-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, first offense, and for reckless driving/endangering safety, after he nearly collided head-on with the officer.

A caller reported a suspected drunken driver, then followed and gave police a full description of the wild and dangerous maneuvers she witnessed as the woman careened through Tosa Village. It would turn out that the driver, at the wheel of a full-sized GMAC SUV, was already on probation for causing injury by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle. According to police reports: At 8:16 p.m. Monday, the 33-year-old Milwaukee woman was arrested for drunken driving, second offense, and violating probation after the call came in that she was driving recklessly through the Village area. The witness was following the woman southbound on Wauwatosa Avenue and said that her SUV had been veering into oncoming traffic, then ran a red light at Milwaukee …

It's sad to see something like this happen. People need to slow it down out here. Speed limits have reasons.. Too often I see people going 60mph on Mayfair, they fly pass me just to be at the same stop sign as me. You really are not saving any more time driving like your completely out of your mind.
