Women are the biggest cause of road rage in Bogotá (Class assignment)

Women are the most beautiful thing in life. However, we must accept that the relationship between women and cars has not always been the best. If we check the statistics about traffic accidents in Bogotá, we can see that a high percentage of them is caused by the road rage that women can lead every day.
Road rage caused by women makes roads more unsafe, even more when we talk about the transit of a big city as Bogotá. Bogota's traffic has become increasingly problematic due to various factors related to the behavior of women on the road. For example, on the Caraca's Avenue female drivers may get frightening because in this zone there always are trucks, busses, Transmilenio, a lot of taxis, etc, and women are more nervous than men when they drive.
There are noticeable factors to explain the road rage caused by women. One of this could be when they make up while driving. Undoubtly this is something that women shouldn't do because it's imprudent and dangerous for other people. This is something that could be compared with a driver using the cellphone while he/she is driving.
To sum up, there are different causes to the road rage exists, however women and their behavior on roads always have been one of the most important, and this is due to a sexist culture that there is in Bogota too.
