1. A vehicle safety illumination system comprising:
a microprocessor having operative control over a plurality of vehicle lights including vehicle turn signal lights including a light emitting diode (LED) visible on a left, front corner of a vehicle, an LED visible on a right, front corner of the vehicle, an LED visible on a left, rear corner of the vehicle, and an LED visible on a right, rear corner of the vehicle;
wherein the microprocessor flashes a subset of the LED visible on the left, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the right, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the left, rear corner of the vehicle, and the LED visible on the right, rear corner of the vehicle to indicate a turn of the vehicle;
wherein the microprocessor, upon receipt of a flash signal, flashes the LED visible on the left, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the right, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the left, rear corner of the vehicle, and the LED visible on the right, rear corner of the vehicle;
wherein the microprocessor, upon receipt of a strobe signal, strobes the LED visible on the left, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the right, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the left, rear corner of the vehicle, and the LED visible on the right, rear corner of the vehicle; and
wherein the microprocessor ceases strobing of the LED visible on the left, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the right, front corner of the vehicle, the LED visible on the left, rear corner of the vehicle, and the LED visible on the right, rear corner of the vehicle upon receipt of a signal that the vehicle speed has exceeded a predetermined threshold.
