While having a bottle, can or other item thrown at you from a moving car is a form of violence, it is also harassment. Now don't go and get all

Harassment leads to violence, would you not agree? Maybe not 100% of the time but the fact remains that harassment leads to violence.
Thus the risk from harassment
is violence, and that sir, is not minute, but a real threat that though maybe not common where you live, is very common in other places. And I think I may know just a little bit more on this subject than you.
