Now, if we look at how many quads were purchased outside of hobby shops where the sales people are only trying to sell product, the odds of most knowing about the AMA or what the airspace zones are and what they mean are beyond almost nil. Then again, all I have to do to see flagrant violation of laws that every licensed driver knows is to take a radar gun and stand on the shoulder of the local freeway. 95% are in violation of the speed limit, some blatantly so. Then again, just this morning, I was doing 63 in a 60, only to get passed by a sports car doing at least 90. Tell me the driver doesn't know what a speed limit sign is or what it means. I rest my case
The topic was AMA giving the impression that it is OK to fly in any park permission or not. Not ignoring rules or not bothering to read them.
