Push to teach drone owners about safety after near misses

Everyone who owns or buys a drone will have to sit a driving theory test for them, the Government will announce today. Ministers are worried there could be a major accident after a sharp rise in the number of near misses between drones and aircraft. Under the plans it will be illegal to own a drone without registering personal details such as your name and address online. Individuals will also have to take a'safety awareness test', answering questions on existing rules. These include always keeping your drone in sight and not flying it above 400 feet (120 metres).
