When the Taxi Driver Collapsed at the Wheel: A Reality Check After the Sóller Accident

Answer

Are taxi drivers in Mallorca required to have regular medical checks?

Professional drivers in Mallorca are subject to medical checks, but the frequency and how strictly they are enforced can vary. A single health check at the time of hiring is not enough to catch problems that appear later, such as heart issues, circulation problems, or diabetes. The debate after the Sóller crash is really about whether current controls go far enough.
