The good part is, if it happens in Guatemala , you will get free very good assistance if your country has an embassy or Consulate in Guatemala, called Asistur, if I remember the name good and will do all the legal work, till you free and surprisingly the person assigned to you will be 24 hours available.
In Honduras , you will be on your own
Both countries do not need insurance ( Liability) and it would be hard to get with foreign plates anyway and takes forever to get
So bottom-line is drive very defensive!
