The Metropolitan Police in London will become the first UK police force to use a drone to monitor road users.

According to a report in The Guardian newspaper, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) will focus on road users engaged in dangerous driving, such as racing, that could potentially put others at risk, rather than targeting all speeding motorists…
