If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane nex ttoyour vehicle may be
indicated, especially if the vehicles are not driv-
ing in the middle of their lane. This may be the
case if ther eare vehicles driving at the inner
edge of their lanes.
Due to the natur eofthe system:
Rwarning smay be issued in error when driving
close to crash barriers or similar solid lane
borders.
Rwarning smay be interrupted when driving
alongside long vehicles, e.g. trucks, for apro-
longed time.
