A $40 drone is usually an under 2” device that fits in the palm of your hand with an operating range of under 100ft and barely can be used outdoors (due to wind). I’ve had similar size devices fly into me (including in the face) and I didn’t even get scratched, let alone remotely hurt.

If it hits your windscreen, you were more likely driving where you shouldn’t be rather than someone with a literal kids toy doing something wrong.

Windscreen refers to that of an airplane, not a car. The clue is the reference to 80 knots, which is never used to measure vehicle speed.

Thanks. I meant to say flying, not driving. Swap out the two words and you’ll realize what I said makes sense as written otherwise.
