A vehicle early warning braking indication system includes a sensor pad disposed beneath a brake pedal of the vehicle on a floor portion of a driver's side area of a cabin of the vehicle, the sensor pad configured to output a signal at a first voltage level when a weight greater than a predetermined weight is applied to the sensor pad. The system also includes a brake light activation unit configured to receive the signal output from the sensor pad and to cause a brake light provided on a rear portion of the vehicle to be illuminated when the signal is at the first voltage level, and to cause the brake light to not be illuminated when the signal is at a second voltage level different than the first voltage level.
