More than 350 drivers without a driver's license in the Balearic Islands: Why the problem on Mallorca shouldn't exist

Answer

Is driving without a licence a problem for road safety in Mallorca?

Yes, because it puts other road users at risk and can add pressure to police, courts and emergency services. If a driver is unlicensed and also impaired by alcohol or drugs, the danger rises further. In Mallorca, the issue affects not only traffic safety but also the wider functioning of the island’s transport system.
