The invention relates to a driver assistance system (1) for an ego vehicle (2), comprising: an interface (11) which is adapted to receive camera data acquired by a camera device (21) of the ego vehicle (2), sensor data acquired by a sensor device (22) of the ego vehicle (2), and navigation data acquired by a navigation system (23) of the ego vehicle (2); a computing device (12) which is adapted to determine a distance to at least one further vehicle (3, 31, 32) in a surrounding of the ego vehicle (2) based on the sensor data, determine a height of the at least one further vehicle (3, 31, 32) based on the camera data, determine a position and a height above ground of a traffic light (4) based on the navigation data, and compute a minimal distance (X_ACC) between the ego vehicle (2) and the further vehicle (3, 31) directly adjacent to the ego vehicle (2) which is required to establish visual contact between the camera device (21) of the ego vehicle (2) and the traffic light (4), depending on the determined distance and height of the at least one further vehicle (3, 31, 32) and on the position and height of the traffic light (4); and a control device (13) which is adapted to control the ego vehicle (2) in such a way that the distance between the ego vehicle (2) and the further vehicle (3, 31) directly adjacent to the ego vehicle (2) is equal to or larger than the computed minimal distance (X_ACC).
