Three serious accidents in one night: Injuries on Mallorca

Answer

Why do wet roads cause more accidents in Mallorca?

Wet asphalt reduces grip and makes braking distances longer, which can be a problem on Mallorca’s roads, especially at night. A road that feels manageable in daylight can become much more difficult once it is damp, curved or poorly lit. Slowing down and driving more smoothly can make a noticeable difference.
