We have voted out but I doubt that has much to do with this, we all know anyone can buy a drone, load it up and shoot for the skies, we all know there will all ways be that person that aims to get the highest just for youtube views, Something does need to be done and I think they'll take this on board because a blanket regulation is easier than a specific regulation and why would you not just take this on board rather than having a complete task force to do just the same yourselves.
I agree with the limits put on smaller drones, why would you want anyone just buying them and shooting them off in any direction ? you wouldn't put someone in a car, forklift, motorcycle,mewp infact you cant do anything work based without training these days, SO why would you allow just anyone to be able to free float air space ?
