Seven People, One Trunk: Why Palma's Nights Are More Often Going Wrong

Answer

Why do some people in Palma ignore the danger of driving after drinking or using drugs?

People often underestimate the risks when they are in a group and trying not to spoil the mood. Alcohol can make bad ideas feel harmless, and that is how unsafe decisions are normalised. In Palma, this can be made worse when people assume a short ride or a familiar street is not a problem.
