Answer

What should I do with my phone before driving in Mallorca?

Set your navigation before you start, silence notifications and keep the phone out of reach while driving. If you need to change an address or message someone, stop safely first or let a passenger handle it. A few seconds of attention lost to a screen can be enough to create a serious risk.
