Answer

What practical safety measures can taxi drivers in Mallorca use to reduce risk when working alone at night?

Key steps include equipping taxis with an easily reachable panic button, improving links between dispatch centers and police control rooms, and ensuring a visible police presence at known risk spots. Training in de-escalation and escape routes should be part of regular practice, and early conflict detection can be supported by club and taxi association cooperation. These measures aim to make incidents harder to occur and faster to respond to.
