Milwaukee Speeding Ticket Lawyer
Moving Violations in Wisconsin
Speeding violations are a common type of traffic offense that our firm handles for clients. Recall that Wisconsin’s basic speeding law prohibits driving at a speed greater than reasonable and prudent under the conditions.
The State Also Implements Fixed Speeding Limits, Including (But Not Limited To):
- 15 mph when passing school grounds
- 15 mph in alleys
- 15 mph on most street roads and town roads
- 65 mph on most expressways
- 70 mph on freeways
How Much Is a Speeding Ticket in Wisconsin?
The penalties for speeding tickets include $30-$300 in fines and demerit points on the driver’s record. Note that the fines may be doubled if the offense occurred near a school or construction zone.
What's the Difference Between a Moving and Non-moving Violation?
When your insurance company determines the risk level of your insurance policy, they look at the type of violations on your driving record. In most instances, a non-moving violation is seen as less risky than a moving violation. An example of a non-moving violation is a defective speedometer, which is an equipment violation. A speeding ticket, on the other hand, is a moving violation.
It’s important to note that every insurance company looks at moving versus non-moving tickets differently when it comes to determining insurance premiums.

What Is Considered Reckless Driving?
Reckless driving occurs when an individual operating a vehicle drives in a way that can cause injury or the risk of harm to others. In Wisconsin, this includes negligence that results in bodily harm or great bodily harm. The level of penalty will differ based on the charge. For example, a first offense reckless driving charge may receive a fine, while a reckless driving charge that caused an injury could lead to jail time.
Examples of Reckless Driving:
- Driving while intoxicated
- Driving while texting or distracted
- Driving at an excessively high speed
- Engaging in racing with other drivers
- Driving in an aggressive manner, often referred to as road rage
- Refusing to stop at an intersection when the light turns red
