The device (A) is for warning at physical contact of a vehicle with an object in its surrounding and protection of the vehicle at such a contact. The device has a detecting unit ( 1 ) and a warning unit ( 2 ), where the detecting unit ( 1 ) is adapted to be attached to a surface (B) and detect a contact of a vehicle with the detecting unit ( 1 ), and where the warning unit ( 2 ) is adapted to warn a driver of the vehicle of the detection. The detecting unit ( 1 ) consists of a force absorbing plate ( 11 ), and an inside the plate ( 11 ) acting contact devise ( 12 ). A first side ( 11 a) of the plate ( 11 ) is adapted to be attached to the surface (B). The plate ( 11 ) is given an elasticity adapted to absorb part of the forces that can occur at a contact of a vehicle. The contact device ( 12 ) is adapted to close an electric circuit ( 13 ) at the contact, and the warning unit ( 2 ) is adapted to emit a visual signal and/or an acoustic signal when the electric circuit ( 13 ) is closed.
