<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a warning device for safely stopping a vehicle. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The warning device 1 detects a driver state including the eyes of a driver by cameras 2 and 4 and ECUs (Electric Control Unit) 3 and 5, and detects a vehicle state including a vehicle speed by sensors 6 and 7 and an ECU 8. The ECU 8 calculates a stop distance from the vehicle to a stop position on the basis of an idle running distance corresponding to the driver state and the vehicle state, and an actual braking distance corresponding to the vehicle state, and uses a meter 11, a buzzer 12, and a vibrator 13 to warn the driver to cause the driver to look at the position ahead of the stop position when he or she is looking aside, or the driver keeps gazing in a direction other than that of the position ahead of the stop position due to lowering of consciousness. The driver is caused to look at the position ahead of the stop position, so that the driver recognizes an obstacle or the like at an early stage and safely stops the vehicle.
