Answer

What happens if you are stopped driving without a licence in Mallorca?

Driving without a valid licence is treated as a serious offence in Spain. Possible consequences include fines, community service and, in serious cases, a prison sentence, along with further licence restrictions or point losses. If an accident happens, the financial risk can be much worse because insurers may refuse to pay.
