Hit-and-run in Cala Mesquida: Why is the Accused Free Again?

Answer

Why is prevention emphasized in Mallorca road safety, not just enforcement, especially near tourist hotspots?

Prevention is described as starting on the road itself, with structural changes, safer driving practices, and better working routines reducing risk. The aim is to address underlying causes such as speed, intoxication, and shift-work patterns rather than relying solely on post-incident punishment. This approach seeks long-term safety improvements for residents and visitors alike.
