Hit a car win a prize!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/northamptonshire/7007936.stm

A few years ago the game of dropping things on moving cars from an overhead bridge started with a point system for where the car was hit. This became prevalent enough that I, like many others, became nervous about driving under motorway bridges when I saw groups of young people looking down. It's seems it's started up again. I'm glad it's being taken seriously.

there were a couple of bad cases like that in Holland in the last 4-5 years, with fatalities as well

I think there was a case a few years back of some kids dropping rocks or chunks of concrete off an overpass on the Mass 'Pike. It was a while back though, so I don't recall the details. Hopefully they're spending some quality time with Bubba now.
