Abstract

An automatic warning signal system for a leading vehicle (e.g., an automobile, car, truck, tanker, van, bus, motor home, motorcycle, or other vehicles, etc., as well as trailers of all kinds in-tow, etc.) including a detector for detecting when a following vehicle comes within a target area too close to the rear of the leading vehicle, and a circuit for coupling a signal device and an energy source to cause the signal device to produce a warning signal which includes activating the brake light or lights of the leading vehicle without the actual application of the brakes to caution the driver of the following vehicle when the detector detects the following vehicle within the target area too close to the rear of the leading vehicle, causing the driver of the following vehicle to slow down and thus increase the distance between the two vehicles and prevent rear end collision in case of an emergency.
