CONSTITUTION: A contact accident preventive device is provided with a proximity sensor 1 having a detecting area at least on the side of a vehicle and a control circuit 2 to generate a traffic lane change prohibiting signal in response to a side object detecting signal from the proximity sensor 1. The control circuit 2 is connected to a direction indicator 3 and a power steering system 4. |
