Mallorca airport motorway: police stop zigzag driver

Responsible for this content: Frank Menze

On Mallorca, a driver weaving between lanes on Palma’s airport motorway forces officers to stop traffic on 31 October. The Guardia Civil’s traffic unit pulls over the 54-year-old after seeing him make repeated dangerous lane changes that put himself and other road users at risk.

The driver shows clear signs of having been drinking. Two breath tests return 1.01 and 1.03 milligrams of alcohol per litre of breath — well above the threshold for a criminal offence, the Guardia Civil says.

The man is under investigation on suspicion of a road-safety offence. If the case leads to a conviction, he faces three to six months in prison and a driving ban of one to four years.
