Answer

What would help reduce the driving test backlog in Mallorca?

More examiners would be the fastest relief, especially if recruitment included better pay, island allowances, or flexible work models. Better digital appointment systems and clearer scheduling would also make the process less chaotic. In the longer term, more consistent testing standards across Mallorca and the rest of the Balearic Islands would help restore trust.
