More than 350 drivers without a driver's license in the Balearic Islands: Why the problem on Mallorca shouldn't exist

Answer

Why do some people in Mallorca keep driving after losing their licence?

Some drivers continue out of habit, fear of bureaucracy or the belief that they can manage without getting caught. Others may be trying to get to work, a test centre or around the island without dealing properly with the legal process. In Mallorca, that creates a cycle where short-term convenience leads to serious long-term consequences.
