The UK has new rules for flying drones. From January 1, people need to take a test before flying drones outside. This is for drones that weigh 100 grams or more. Before, only heavier drones needed this.
The test is online. It helps people get a Flyer ID. This ID lasts for five years. The rules are to keep everyone safe. They also help people understand how to use drones correctly.
Children can fly drones too, but they need help from adults. The government wants everyone to enjoy drones safely.
