RVDT posted the gold right there.
Drone operators have an obligation to be just as safe in the skies. Many places have laws for such conduct
Drones inherantly are hard to see, and can move faster than your eyes can pick up on them. All shapes and sizes. from palm sized to small car sized.

The Baja races have been using helicopters for a very long time so I doubt that a drone operator could plead that he did not know he was flying in a known aircraft space.
the reality is with millions of these toys gracing the skies, piloted by numbnuts, the problem will increasingly have serious and tragic results for someone

I thinks that PDR1 has a drone, he has that vibe to his posts.
