I was travelling about 100 metres behind a road sweeper truck that had its hazard lights going. It turned into a side street and there was no signal given that he was going to turn as the hazard lights were going. I realized that it was a potential hazard not having an indicator showing where he/she was turning. I then wondered what I could do about this potential hazard. I then came up with this invention which is a control unit attached to the existing wiring of the vehicle. It works like this; when you want to turn say to your left, for example, you use the normal signal indicator as normal and the left hand lights keep flashing but the right hand lights turn off and vice versa when turning to the right. The main concept is the vehicle now has the added advantage of directional hazard lights. Bifl69O aD ' 14= L~n Ln4-1 E E.2) (u - L N o N u- 04 CM r= =-4- - ~0~ I D -'. D Oo lOND 17 L10 +1' ua
