Apparatus for protecting an unattended parked vehicle 10 from collisions comprises a plurality of distance sensors 12, 14 mounted to the front and/or rear of the vehicle, and an external alarm 16 which is triggered if another vehicle approaches to within a predetermined distance of the parked vehicle. A camera may also be triggered and a series of images stored and later retrieved, or they may be transmitted to the mobile phone of the vehicles owner. The camera may also be triggered by pressure on retractable projections which extend outwardly from the bodywork when the vehicle ignition is off. If the unattended vehicle is accidentally damaged, a keypad or sound recording device can be used by the driver of the offending vehicle to leave contact details. |
