V-16 instead of the warning triangle: What the new warning light really means for Mallorca

Answer

Can tourists in Mallorca be fined for not having a V-16 light?

The reported fine for missing the required device is €80, but the obligation is tied to Spanish-registered vehicles. That means tourists are not automatically covered in the same way, although rental cars and longer stays can create confusion. Visitors should check the vehicle papers and the rental agreement before driving.
