Answer

Can you drive a car in Mallorca without a valid driving licence or insurance?

No, driving without a valid licence or without proper insurance is not allowed and can lead to serious consequences. If a vehicle is also deregistered or has unclear paperwork, the situation becomes even more difficult for police and insurers to sort out. In Mallorca, these cases can also create problems for other road users and for anyone involved in an accident.
