Answer

Where are police checks for unlicensed drivers happening in Mallorca?

Checks have taken place in several parts of Mallorca, including night controls on the outskirts of Palma, roundabouts in Manacor and spot checks after concerts and in holiday areas. The aim is to catch drivers who should not be on the road, especially when alcohol or drugs may also be involved. For residents and visitors, it means roadside checks can happen in ordinary everyday traffic as well as in nightlife areas.
