Abstract: An emergency braking alert system for providing a strobing visual indication of rapid deceleration of a vehicle traveling above a pre-determined minimum speed includes a microcontroller operationally coupled to the braking system and the speedometer of a vehicle. The microcontroller is further operationally coupled to a strobing light for activating the strobing light when rapid deceleration from a high speed is detected. In an embodiment, a deflection member is coupled to the vehicle adjacent the strobing light to prevent temporary blinding of nearby persons.
