A VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM

A vehicle safety system comprising: a steering angle sensor, to sense an angular position of the steering wheel and a rate of turning of the steering wheel; a steering angle prediction module connected to receive signals from the steering angle sensor, and adapted to determine, from the sensed angular position and rate of turning of the steering wheel, a predicted future angular position of the steering wheel at a future time; and an evaluation module adapted to compare the predicted future angular position of the steering wheel against a threshold, and to generate a signal if the predicted future angular position of the steering wheel is greater than the threshold.
