Answer

Why do accidents happen on Mallorca’s mountain roads even when speed is not extreme?

On Mallorca’s mountain roads, accidents can happen for several reasons besides speed. Wet surfaces, poor light, blind bends, and limited protection at the roadside can all reduce the margin for error. Even a careful driver can be caught out if the road surface or visibility changes suddenly.
