Abstract
A safety system for vehicles comprises a sensor for detecting steering angles, a sensor for detecting speeds of the vehicle, a sensor for detecting lateral accelerations of the vehicle, and a discriminating unit having a table wherein the relationships between vehicle speeds and lateral accelerations are classified for each of different ranges of steering angles into a safety region and a hazardous region with respect to the state of the vehicle. The discriminating unit is adapted to judge the state of the vehicle from the results of detection by the respective sensors with reference to the table and to give an alarm to the driver when the state of the vehicle has come out of the safety region into the hazardous region.
