Since arriving in New York on Monday to promote her new children's book - and defend her adoption of a 13-month-old urchin from Malawi - the Material Mom has been acting like a speed freak.
She's ordered her chauffeurs - one a retired cop whose brother is a state senator - to leave the paparazzi in the dust.
As a result, the drivers are breaking every rule - using fake police lights and flashers, zooming through red lights, making illegal U-turns and burning rubber on major thoroughfares.
In fact, Post reporter Marianne Garvey watched Madonna's drivers zip through 40 red lights in four days as startled pedestrians shook their fists in anger.
One driver, who identified himself only as Abel, explained, "Some days she gets in back and says, 'Abel, I don't want to be followed' - and I know what to do."
"She enjoys this," he added. "She likes it when we do bad things."
Madonna has a right to be wary. She's regularly followed by three paparazzi on bicycles, two on motorbikes and others in three cars. Still, state law specifies that only law-enforcement and government vehicles are allowed to use lights and sirens.
