Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for preventing a reversing accident where a vehicle that is towing an object is reversing at a low speed and is on a collision course with an obstacle. The method comprises sensing an obstacle rearward of a rear end of the towed 5 object by means of a sensor arrangement that generates an obstacle recognition signal when an obstacle is sensed that meets a predetermined condition. The method also comprises generating an accident prevention response signal on receiving the obstacle recognition signal from the sensor arrangement, the accident prevention response signal response comprising a signal for applying a brake of the towed object to either bring the 10 towed object to a halt if it is reversing or to stop the towed object from reversing if the towed object is stationary. 9753413_1 (GHMatters) P91027.AU.2 Ln~ Li_ co coLI
