Loads of things that can be done , but manufacturers would have to be forced into doing that .
Perhaps anyone buying one should be subject to an IQ test?

My BIL is in California now. He passed through Santa Rosa on his way to Clear Lake. He told me about this drone incident.
Something has to be done, and I'm sure eventually it will.

My dog has also been distressed by people flying these in the park. It must seem like a flying hoover to pets. The government was planning registration and a requirement to sit an awareness test.

Drones are a fad, I'd never give them the Thumbs Up.

You need a licence to drive a car. You should need a licence to cycle. Maybe loony road rage cyclists are the ones flying these things in the park.

The UK government are going to make droners do a course on being considerate to other people on the planet. That's after they stop throwing custard pies at each other...

Re: No limit on stupidity

I'd ban drones along with fireworks in a perfect world.

I'm an animal lover, it's not even November yet and already we have grown men setting off fireworks in the street.
