This invention derives both velocity and acceleration (deceleration) of a motor vehicle (typically a motorcycle), and turns on brake lights accordingly. In that motorcyclists balance their vehicles with both feet when stopped at a traffic light, the brake pedal will not be depressed, and thus the brake light may or may not be illuminated, depending upon hand position. This invention senses the stationary vehicle in this case and illuminates the brake light accordingly. Similarly, in that some deceleration activities by motorcyclists are executed by a hard downshift, the vehicle can drastically slow down without activation of the brake light; this sudden deceleration is also sensed by the invention and similarly results in illumination of the brake lights. Sensing of these conditions is carried out by a velocity signal (derived from the motorcycle) or by the incorporation of an internal GPS receiver.
