ABSTRACT:
A delayed vehicle starter (DVS) that prevents a motor vehicle from being started and driven away before the driver has observed and determined that there are no persons or objects in the vicinity of the vehicle that may cause an impact. To preclude such an impact the driver must sequentially depress a series of switches, strategically located at the front and rear of the vehicle, within a preset time before the vehicle can be started. If the driver successfully performs the required sequential steps the DVS enables the vehicle ignition system allowing the vehicle engine to be started. Once started, the vehicle must then be moved for a predetermined distance within the preset time or the DVS will disable the vehicle ignition system. To restart the vehicle after the ignition system is disabled the required sequential steps must be restarted from the beginning.
