A method of indicating vehicle deceleration rates is used to help drivers discern how fast a vehicle is decelerating. The method of the present invention is performed by a system that includes a vehicle with a braking system. The braking system includes a pedal sensor and a braking control unit. The pedal sensor is used to measure the force applied to the brake pedal of the vehicle, while the braking control unit is used to categorize the measurements taken by the pedal sensor. The system also includes an indicator light system for the vehicle system. A plurality of braking tiers is managed by the braking control unit and is used to activate the indicator light system to varying extents. The braking control unit compares the brake application force with each of the braking tiers to determine how the indicator light system is activated.
