The government says the drone industry could be worth billions by 2025. The UK may implement mandatory registration of drones and force owners to take a safety test. A government consultation is underway, discussing new drone safety rules, and this may be one of the outcomes. In addition to these measures, there are also proposals for more stringent regulation on drones. The enormous economic potential of drones has been picked up on by everyone from emergency services to conservation groups in the UK, but the government believes that some drone operators are endangering the public.
