Answer

Why do tourists and locals have different risks on Mallorca roads?

Locals usually know the bends, side roads and traffic patterns, while tourists may be slower to react to surprises. Visitors in rental cars can also be less familiar with the road layout or local driving habits. On Mallorca’s narrower roads, that difference can make the same stretch feel safe to one driver and stressful to another.
