ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an early warning braking system whereby drivers are provided with the greatest opportunity to avoid a collision. This is accomplished by monitoring a drivers foot motions. When the braking process occurs, the drivers foot breaks an optical circuit, before engagement with the brake pedal, thereby illuminating the brake lights a moment in time before they would be normally illuminated. At 60 miles per hour this cold give a driver an additional 88 extra feet of braking distance.
