Fake license plates and driving without a driver's license on the Ma-13: What this case reveals about Mallorca's enforcement practices

Answer

Why is the Marratxí exit on the Ma-13 often mentioned in Mallorca traffic checks?

The Marratxí exit is a busy access point on one of Mallorca’s main roads, so it is a natural place for traffic controls. Because many commuters, delivery vans and lorries pass through there, officers can spot irregular vehicles more easily during routine checks. That makes it a practical location for enforcement, not just a random checkpoint.
