ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle signalling system for requesting a driver of a vehicle behind another vehicle to dim his bright lights. The signalling system is low in cost, improves vehicle safety, promotes driver courtesy and is adaptable to all motor vehicle styles and models. The signalling system includes a flashing colored light mounted on the rear of the signalling vehicle and a control circuit for operating the flashing light. The signalling light is mounted in a common housing with an "eye level" stop light on a rear package tray and when operated produces a high intensity flashing beam of colored light to attract the attention of the driver of the rear vehicle. The control system has three states, a normally off state, an operating state wherein the signal light flashes for a predetermined time, and an operating state wherein the signal light flashes continuously. Alternate embodiments are disclosed wherein the signal light is automatically controlled and/or is located in a common housing with the vehicle's other lights.
