A vehicle driver warning system comprises a driver unit 20 and a road user unit 18. The system is installed on a truck 15. The driver unit 20 includes a warning output device, in the form of an audible alarm, for generating an audible warning signal 21 discernible by the vehicle driver 16. This warns the driver of the presence of the cyclist 17. The road user unit 18 includes an LED 3, and an input device, comprising a switch, for transmitting an input signal as a result of an input from the cyclist 17. The input from the cyclist 17 causes the audible alarm to generate the audible warning signal 21 to warn the vehicle driver, which in turn causes the LED 3 to generate the confirmation signal for the cyclist 17. Thereby, the cyclist 17 can tell that the system is working.
