19-year-old kamikaze driver detained again — what is missing to stop this happening again?

Answer

Why can a dangerous driver still be on Mallorca’s roads after a serious crash?

In Mallorca, a serious crash does not always lead to immediate long-term removal from the road. Investigations take time, evidence has to be reviewed, and courts must decide whether detention is justified. That gap can leave a risky driver free long enough to offend again.
