A device D installed in a host vehicle A to detect a closely following vehicle B and to warn the driver of the following vehicle that it is following too closely. The device may also warn the driver of the following vehicle through a lights system (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, figure 2). It may also record the interaction and capture the registration number using camera (C, figure 2) and transmit details of the interaction. The date, time and location of the interaction may also be recorded. The warning lights may be operated in the following manner. If the driver in the following vehicle B is determined to be at a safe distance behind, a green light (1, figure 2) is visible. When the measured distance between the vehicles X is found to be less than the safe distance, four orange lights (2, 3, 4, 5, figure 2) are lit in sequence followed by the red light (6, figure 2).
