A method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle (V1) wherein sensors (3) are arranged to detect a predetermined area including a front side, a lateral side and a rear side of the motor vehicle. The sensors are couple to at least one control unit (2) which analyses a current traffic situation. When an overtaking manoeuvre of another vehicle (V2) is detected from the rear and objects are detected in the front and/or side of the vehicle (V1) a warning is emitted to the driver. After the warning is given, a countermeasure in the form of applying the brakes to reduce speed is activated to prevent an imminent collision. The sensors may utilise a laser scanner, ultrasonic sensors, stereo cameras or a surround view camera. Figure 1 traffic case C, shows the above defined traffic scenario with vehicle (V1) being overtaken by (V2) and oncoming vehicle (V3) presenting a risk of collision between all traffic participants.
