Embodiments herein relate to a vehicle safety arrangement and method for preventing or mitigating accidents when turning across lanes (2) with oncoming traffic (3) in a vehicle (1) comprising an Electrical Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) (4). Oncoming traffic (3) in one or more adjacent lanes (2) and other vehicles (9) approaching from behind are detected by forward- and rearward-looking detection systems (6, 8) respectively. An intention to turn across an adjacent lane (2) is determined. Standstill of the host vehicle (1) is determined. A control unit (12) is arranged to, during determined standstill and a determined intention to turn across a lane (2) containing oncoming traffic (3), determine if a risk of the host vehicle (1) being hit from behind is high, and if so determined, generate and send a control signal to an EPAS control unit (13), which, in response to receiving such a control signal, is arranged to cause the EPAS (4) to align the steerable wheels (5) of the host vehicle (1).
