175 km/h on the motorway to Alcúdia – a wake-up call for safer roads?

Answer

What happens if you drive far above the speed limit in Mallorca?

Driving far above the limit in Mallorca can lead to heavy fines and, in serious cases, criminal proceedings, a driving ban, or even imprisonment. Whether a case is treated as a criminal offence depends on how dangerous the driving was and whether other road users were put at risk. The decision is usually made after the case is reviewed by the prosecutor.
