Drunk Driving in Es Rafal: An Early Morning, a Lucky Ending — and Many Uncomfortable Questions

Answer

What should I know about drunk driving checks in Mallorca?

Police in Mallorca do carry out alcohol checks, especially at night and in the early morning when risky driving is more likely. These controls are meant to catch offences after they happen, so they are important but they do not replace prevention. A serious crash in Palma showed how quickly alcohol, poor judgement and traffic can lead to damage even when no one is injured.
