Answer

What should drivers in Mallorca do when overtaking cyclists?

Drivers in Mallorca should leave plenty of room, slow down, and avoid overtaking if the road does not allow a safe pass. On rural roads, narrow shoulders and sudden obstacles can make close passing dangerous even when the driver thinks there is enough space. A calm approach is safer for everyone using the road.
