No it was ordinary villagers who were fed up with cars charging
through their villages and putting their lives at risk. Of course,
when the villagers themselves got cars that all changed.

No as I see it, kids are frequently mown down by killer drivers so its
hardly surprising that they might react in such a fashion. I could be
and act of instinctive self-preservation.

You are asserting that the reason for children throwing stones etc at
cars is a direct reaction to the fact that children sometimes get
knocked down by cars. Do you have even one tiny shred of evidence for
such a claim? I very much doubt that such a thought enters their
heads. Once again, you are just making up excuses for other people's
criminal behaviour.

No, I think you'll find it was nothing to with a road safety protest and all
to do with them trying to cause damage for the sake of it.
That's what some kids do.
