Nighttime crash near Son Banya: Who will stop the speeding on Mallorca's country roads?

Answer

Why are some country roads in Mallorca especially dangerous at night?

Mallorca’s country roads can be risky at night because many stretches are long, straight and only lightly lit. When visibility is poor and traffic enforcement is limited, drivers may be more likely to speed or take unnecessary risks. A small mistake on these roads can quickly become serious.
