New Requirement on Mallorca: What the Emergency Lane Really Means — a Reality Check

Answer

How should you react when an ambulance or police car comes up behind you in Mallorca?

The safest reaction is to check your mirrors quickly, then move out of the way without sudden steering. On Mallorca’s wider roads, that usually means making space toward the edge so the emergency vehicle can pass through the middle. On narrow streets, the key is to stay calm and avoid blocking the route with unpredictable movements.
