Fake license plates and driving without a driver's license on the Ma-13: What this case reveals about Mallorca's enforcement practices

Answer

Why do some illegal cars still reach the Ma-13 in Mallorca?

Because checks are not constant and fraud can slip through small gaps in monitoring. On the Ma-13, especially near busy access points like Marratxí, vehicles may pass before a database check is made or before a patrol notices something unusual. That is why authorities rely on both random controls and better data sharing.
