Safety on bridges - ideas after the Venice Tragedy for Pregnant Recent Bride

 It has not been a good year for brides. One killed in the USA by a drunken driver. 



One in Iraq with more than 100 killed at her wedding. Now a pregnant woman on her honeymoon killed in Venice after marrying less than a month ago .

What can be done to prevent an accident like the last one this ever happening again? 

1 Vehicles should brake if a driver's eyes shut because he is dozy or unconscious. 

2 All bridges should have safety inspections with visible certificates, like toilets in fast food places. Then local papers could check and make a fuss about any bridge not showing up to date certification.

3 Vehicles should have sprinkler systems like buildings. 

4 Planes have co-pilots. A vehicle carrying more than 20 people should have a co-pilot. That could be a passenger who gets a reduced fare after a fifteen minute training course and rehearsal of taking over controls. 

Any more suggestions from you or elsewhere in the world? Let us know.
