Each of the plurality of monitoring units (20-N) is configured to determine a distraction level of a driver of the respective vehicle (10-N), and, if it is determined that the driver distraction level exceeds a predetermined threshold, transmit a distraction information message to the central server (30), wherein the distraction information message includes information about the distraction level and the position at which the distraction level occurred. The central server (30) is configured to collect and evaluate the distraction information messages received from different ones of the plurality of monitoring units (20-N), and, if a number of distraction information messages that are received for one and the same location (PI) during a defined period of time exceeds a defined number of messages, or if an increased number of distraction information messages is received for one and the same location (PI) regularly or at recurring points in time, the central server (30) is configured to provide notifications to following vehicles (10-X) that are determined to pass the location (PI) on their planned route.",
