Road traffic accidents are being recognised as a major problem in developing countries. A mechanism to prevent these
road accidents is the need of the hour. It is hoped that the mechanism which we introduced can prevent accidents occurring due
to overtaking. In order to accomplish the task, we use a camera which is fixed on the rear view mirror of our vehicle which
collects the footage of the opposite lane up to 100m. This footage is used to detect any obstacle present using real time computer
vision. If an obstacle is present, driver will be alarmed so. This will ensure overtaking only at safe conditions
