A vehicular movement indicator safety system consisting of motion and status sensors on the dynamic moving systems of a vehicle, a programmed microprocessor control unit, and conventional signal indicators. The microprocessor is programmed to integrate data from sensors related to wheel, steering, brake, engine and transmission systems to determine the exact nature of changes in vehicular movement resulting from operation of one or more of the dynamic systems, to distinguish between a driver's signaled intent to turn or make a change in vehicular movement and the actual onset of the turn or change as determined by concurrent activation of dynamic systems, and to immediately activate signal indicators to produce clear, unambiguous and readily perceived signals corresponding to the changes in vehicular movement. The vehicular movement indicator safety system generates instantaneous signals alerting drivers to a change, eliminates the uncertainty, ambiguity and confusion prevalent with existing turn signal and brake indicator systems, and significantly enhances ability of drivers to quickly perceive and react to changes in movement of other vehicles in substantially all traffic situations and under adverse as well as normal visibility and weather conditions.
