 The Guatemalan government has banned bikers from carrying pillions. In addition, it will be mandatory for the rider to wear a fluorescent jacket and a helmet, which must have the vehicles registration number displayed on it (probably weakening the chemical composition of the helmet and rendering it useless).

The reason for the new law is that research has shown that 60% of Guatemala’s murders are committed on motorcycles, with the hitman riding pillion.

In Guatemala – average 17 murders a day in a (rapidly reducing) population of 13 million - it is common to see up to three people riding on the same motorbike.

On the plus side, it will no longer be necessary to tick the “no pillions to be carried” box on insurance proposal forms…
