Make it illegal to sell a drone without including a copy of the Drone Code

Closed 43 signatures

What the petition asks

Both retail and private sales of drones should include, by law, a copy of the Drone Code, UK drone regulations.
Illegal drone use is a major problem and when caught, some operators claim ignorance of the rules. If every drone sold had a copy of the drone code with it then there could be no defence
