Patent attributes
A safety system for a motor vehicle which prohibits the sudden acceleration of the vehicle as a result of hydraulic brake pressure. The throttle-control system of the vehicle is bypassed by providing an ignition switch connecting a starter to a battery, the battery providing voltage for an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle. A brake pressure switch is connected to the ignition switch and to a brake master cylinder for receiving brake fluid under hydraulic pressure upon actuation of a brake pedal. An ignition coil means transforms and increases the voltage for the engine. Finally, a limiter set at a specific revolutions per minute (RPM) to limit output of the engine is connected to the brake pressure switch and to the ignition coil, the limiter reacting to the voltage when the brake pressure switch is closed by the hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal.
