A system and method provide for collision avoidance by alerting a driver of a trailing vehicle of the presence of a leading vehicle in response to a predetermined condition. In accordance with one embodiment, the system may be mounting to the leading vehicle and may alert a distracted driver of the trailing vehicle that a rear impact is anticipated by a calculation including a speed differential between the trailing vehicle and the leading vehicle and a distance between the trailing vehicle and the leading vehicle. In accordance with another embodiment, the system may enhance driver awareness of the leading vehicle on a road shoulder by detecting the trailing vehicle within a predetermined area and activating a warning such as a strobe light.
