On December 11, the traffic directorate (DGT) started a week-long, nationwide pre-Christmas campaign of intensive controls against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The DGT says: "In the days before Christmas, when a large number of gatherings are held with family and friends and at which alcohol is usually present, it is important to remember that the only safe rate is 0.0%."
Alcudia has the most drink driving offences in Mallorca
Intensity of police controls is a factor for the number of offences

Yep, the learning??? If you impose checks for drink driving, particularly at Xmas, loads of Mallorcan drivers are drunk or drugged. Well, bravo Alcúdia police for doing something!!! It doesn’t mean Alcúdia is a centre of drink driving, it means Alcúdia police are on the ball. Perhaps suggest tweaking the headline???
So the data clearly points to there being a wagon load more of pissed up drivers on the road who are not being caught because there aren’t enough police checks. Surely that should prompt the police to increase their checks. It’ll save lives and a adds the bonus in increasing income via more fines.
