IN GUATEMALA DRIVERS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY OVER (LITERALLY) PEDESTRIANS.
On December 29, 2015 a young Irishman (Co. Kerry), a rather well known Gaelic footballer, was killed in an accident in Guatemala. His funeral was described on some Irish media but for the life of me I have been unable to get information about how he died. He was working with an Irish company in Guatemala; don't know where and whether the accident happened on the job or on the road as a car crash.
IN GUATEMALA, MOTOR BIKES ARE ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLES FOR PEDESTRIANS.
They dart in and out, from the side, in between traffic, suddenly appearing out of nowhere without any consideration for pedestrians.
Keep your wits about you!
A Guatemalan friend commented that usually kind and courteous Guatemalans seem to loose that when they get behind the wheel -or the handlebars- and become very aggressive.
