Cliff Accident at Port d'Andratx: A Near Fall and the Big Question of Road Safety

Answer

What should drivers in Mallorca do if they meet a narrow cliff road?

The safest approach is to slow down well before the bend, keep both hands on the wheel, and avoid overtaking or stopping in unsafe places. Drivers should also watch for cyclists, pedestrians, and oncoming traffic, since many coastal roads leave very little room to pass. If the road feels too tight or visibility is poor, it is better to take time rather than force the situation.
