Alcohol at the wheel in Palma: Almost four per mille — what does that say about our streets?

Answer

Why do drink-driving incidents keep happening on Mallorca roads?

Drink-driving keeps recurring because the problem is not only about one bad decision. In Mallorca, late-night mobility is limited in some areas, social drinking habits are normalised, and some drivers may underestimate how impaired they are. Prevention needs more than punishment; it also depends on transport options, awareness, and family support.
