While doing my father's family history, I found a case where a 12 year old boy in 1905 was struck and killed by a car. He was leading a horse down the road of his village in Sussex and was hit on the head by the high mudguard of the car, which came up behind him. There was an inquest, the result of which was a verdict of accidental death and the driver was told to take more care in the future.
So English peasants were pretty dispensable too!
