1. An auxiliary safety warning light system for a vehicle comprising:
- a light assembly having a mediate lighting portion, a first side lighting portion located at a first end of the mediate lighting portion and a second side lighting portion located at a second end of the mediate lighting portion and a light control unit so configured that each lighting portion is capable of lighting and/or blinking independently;
wherein the mediate lighting portion of the light assembly is a light-emitting bar distinguishably separated from the first and the second side lighting portion;
whereby the light control unit is so configured that the mediate lighting portion of the auxiliary safety warning light system can light continuously when a vehicle equipped with the auxiliary safety warning light system is together with the first side lighting portion blinking when the vehicle turns left and the second side lighting portion blinking when the vehicle turns right; and
wherein the first/second side lighting portion and the mediate lighting portion are operated synchronously.
