I fear it is only a matter of time before this is backed up by a body count.
Well if that's how you feel then perhaps we should observe that there is a clear conflict of requirements, and the drone operators are probably more numerous that the helicopters and light aircraft. As we live in a democracy the majority's interests should come first, so obviously the time has come to prohibit aircraft from flying below (say) 1500 feet AGL everywhere outside the airfields controlled airspaces.
If that's the way you want it I'm sure it could be arranged...
