ABSTRACT:
A hazard warning means for a vehicle, including:deceleration triggered actuation means,controlling means, andvisual indicators,wherein said deceleration triggered actuation means including means for detection of a deceleration of a prescribed threshold and means for generating an actuation signal upon detection of said deceleration, said controlling means includes means for causing said visual indicating means to generate visible signals representing hazard conditions for a predetermined time.
