Answer

What kind of roads make driving in Mallorca challenging for learners?

Old-town streets, busy urban junctions, roundabouts and mountain roads all require different skills and more confidence behind the wheel. That is one reason a test focused only on easy traffic situations may not reflect everyday driving on the island.
