ABSTRACT:
A vehicle deceleration warning light is disclosed that includes a pressure switch in fluid communication with the master hydraulic brake cylinder. When the pressure reaches a predetermined level that is representative of panic or emergency braking, the pressure switch activates a delayed and latched switch that, after a suitable interval, turns on a contrastingly colored flashing warning indicator on the rear deck of the motor vehicle to warn a following driver of the rapid deceleration. The flashing indicator continues its flashing for a predetermined amount of time, even after the pressure on the pedal has been released.
