Abstract
The present invention provides an acceleration warning and control system for use on motor driven vehicles. The system comprises speed measuring means, acceleration means and an acceleration warning switch, having a variable switch point. Accordingly, the acceleration warning switch is set to switch at different accelerations for different speeds. Generally, the system allows for a higher acceleration at low speeds relative to the acceleration for higher speeds.
