For today's Geo Quiz -- we're looking for Central America's largest city. One of the best ways to get around the capital of Guatemala is by motorbike.
These noisy scooters can easily zip around this rapidly growing city of 7 million. 2 or 3 riders often manage to squeeze on. But the national police here are putting a stop to it.

Guatemala - unfortunately ranks as one of the most violent countries in Latin America. 17 murders a day on average. Police say most murders are committed by hit men riding double on motorbikes.
They ride up to the victim, shoot, and speed off. So starting today it's one rider per motorbike and drivers must wear a bright orange jacket and wear a helmet that displays the registration number.

Police hope the measures will deter motorbike-mounted hit men. And stop the violence. It's an unusual topic for Geo Quiz ...But we want to know where this is taking place?
