UK to ban drone flying by underage users

The United Kingdom has proposed a legislation that would put a ban on drone flying by underage users.
The legislation includes age restriction where users under 18 years of age will be banned from flying drones weighing over 0.55 pounds, TechCrunch reported. However, kids can still fly a drone provided there is adult supervision.
The UK has also imposed other rules for drone flying including restricting height of consumer drone flights to 400 feet and ban near airports.
