Abstract
The Tailgating Break Warning System is a break warning system that prevents a vehicle from following too closely and thereby decreasing the chances of a rear end collision from the vehicle that is following behind. When a vehicle recognizes that the vehicle trailing behind is approaching or following too closely, the person in the vehicle can manually activate the brake lights without actually slowing their vehicle down. Thus the tailgater, thinking the vehicle has slowed down, will brake (or slow down) their own vehicle increasing the distance between the two vehicles.
Claims1
A Tailgating Break Warning System wherein vehicle A is driving along and notices through the rear view mirror that the vehicle B directly behind is tailgating or following too closely;
- therefore to prevent the tailgating, the person in said vehicle A, manually pushes a button (the Tailgating Break Warning System) to give off the impression to said Vehicle B, who is following too closely (tailgater) that vehicle A is slowing down;
- and vehicle B, the tailgater, will naturally slow down his/her vehicle allowing for a safer distance between the two vehicles, without adding to the risk of vehicle A by actually slowing down, in turn, preventing a rear end collision.
