Bogotá Road Rage: Dashcam Captures Violent Attack, Highlights City's Growing Problem

Road rage is a growing problem in Bogotá, Colombia. A recent incident, captured on dashcam video, shows a minor traffic accident escalating into a violent attack. The video shows a man aggressively confronting a woman driver after a fender bender. He is seen smashing her car window. "When he was telling me he was going to kill me," the victim, Rosa Ruíz, recounts, "all I could think about was my children." Police statistics show a 15% increase in driver-on-driver aggression this year, with nearly 300 reported cases resulting in death. Experts, including city council member David Saavedra, discuss the causes and potential solutions, highlighting the need for improved driver education and increased respect on the roads. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of road rage and the importance of promoting a more tolerant driving culture.
