Nighttime Crash in Palma: Red Light, Alcohol and the Question of Effective Prevention

Answer

Is drink driving treated seriously in Mallorca at night?

Yes. In Mallorca, drinking and driving is taken seriously at any hour, and the risk becomes even greater at night when visibility is poorer and people are leaving bars or restaurants. Police can act on roadside signs of alcohol and forward cases to court. The main point is that alcohol and driving remain a dangerous combination regardless of the time.
