These toys are a real threat and only legislation will stop some serious accident occurring in the future
and, from another poster:
Yes, I've been preaching that elsewhere, although mainly with reference to passenger jets and the looming possibility of terrorist use of the drones in addition to the risk of some clown flying one into a jet on take-off or approach.
Reply:
Legislation in general (like drink driving) may have stopped some serious accidents.
Here there is, actually, legislation already in place and the suggestion is that it is not working.
So the answer is not more legislation, it is more education. Or maybe more legislation that enforces education - like a warning leaflet sold with all "toys".
Regarding terrorism and other aircraft accidents (like German Wings), legislation was of no help.
It is the knee-jerk reaction favoured by useless politicians wanting a quick public "fix".
