When Water Became a Fountain in Sant Elm: An Accident, a Fleeing Driver and the Question of Driving Fitness in Old Age

Answer

How can Mallorca towns balance mobility for older residents with public safety?

The issue isn’t to deny independence but to find practical, locally implementable measures. Proposals include protective structures around vulnerable meters, voluntary driving fitness checks, and better neighborhood networks to spot changes in behavior early. These steps aim to reduce risk without taking away keys.
