Exam backlog in the Balearic Islands: 7,000 driving students waiting — why are examiners missing?

Answer

Do learners in rural Mallorca have a harder time getting a driving test?

Yes, learners outside the larger towns often face extra inconvenience because test appointments are concentrated in bigger centers. That can mean longer journeys to reach the exam location and more time spent fitting the process around daily life. For people in rural Mallorca, the backlog is often felt more sharply than in Palma.
