The driver charged with an offence against road safety by the Guardia Civil has explained on a WhatsApp group that, when notices first appeared regarding his reckless driving, he "voluntarily presented" himself at Tráfico's headquarters.
He adds that he has not been arrested, that his car has not been taken away and that his licence hasn't been withdrawn. "Quite possibly the licence will be withdrawn, but I accept that." He says that a viral video was not uploaded by him but by a motorcyclist and goes on: "I do not want to comment on the people out there wishing me death."
"I apologise. What I did was unforgivable. There are no excuses, but I have had a very bad depressive streak for more than eight months. But I repeat - that is not an excuse at all. There are times when the mind betrays you and you don't think about the consequences."

There’s an article floating about on the MDB about a Scottish woman who’s going to swim around these islands to raise money and awareness for UK children’s mental health. I wonder what services are available here and is there anything being done for youngster’s mental health on the islands? Hypothetically: If bad driving is symptomatic of mental health issues then there are a lot of people on Mallorca’s roads that need some help!
