Abstract: A method of locating the position of a vehicle (5) for the driver thereof, characterized in that use is made of the surface area around the vehicle by projecting a light beam (10) from the vehicle or vehicle part to be located substantially downwards on to the surface, such that at uninhibited projection thereof, a lighted spot (6) is created on the surface, at least substantially outside the circumference of the relevant vehicle part as seen in plan view. The invention specifically supports safe overtaking manoeuvres of large vehicles like trucks. The invention further includes a device, a vehicle and an adapted road for performing the method, and based thereupon.
