The present invention offers a system for guiding drivers of vehicles going in the same direction to avoid encroaching each other's braking space. Encroachment may occur when a proximate vehicle merges too closely to a host vehicle or when the speed of a host vehicle and/or a proximate vehicle changes such that there is insufficient distance between the two vehicles, creating a hazard zone. The indicator system shall be mounted on a host vehicle and incorporate a gauge for determining the host vehicle's speed, one or more sensors to detect the relative proximity and speed of a proximate vehicle, a visual proximity indicator, and a controller for determining whether the proximate vehicle is too close to the host vehicle and operating the visual proximity indicator to signal the proximate vehicle it is within the hazard zone.
