The method in which a sensor monitors the proximity, location of the driver's foot in relation to the break pedal and acceleration pedal and after processing, send a signal to an additional break light system. In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention for monitoring and reading the position of the driver's foot in relation to the break and accelerator pedals, a proximity sensor is used which emits a beam of visible or IR light directed at the immediate area surrounding the two pedals. The signal, after bouncing off the object is converted into an electrical signal. Depending on the position of the object being monitored, the amplified output signal from the sensor after having exceeded a predetermined value, activates the external break light warning system. According to the present invention, the break signalling unit constitutes an additional equipment of a motor vehicle and is provided with the proximity sensor ( 1 ) located in the driver's cab, relay module ( 2 ), and an external light signalling system ( 3 ) where the electrical impulse generated in the sensor module controls, after being amplified, activates the external break light warning system.
