This invention is an apparatus designated primarily for commercial trucks and trailers. It was inspired by witnessing truckers being nearly struck by vehicles in traffic. Statistical data, regarding injuries/fatalities, supports the necessity of such a device. The assembly is comprised of several components, housed inside an aluminum u-channel. The specific length of the assembly shall be determined by the height of the vehicle or trailer it will be attached. The flasher system is operated basically by pulling the assembly with enough force to release the magnetic hold from the vehicle. Immediately, the flashers are energized as the switch, which is mounted in the rear of the device closes upon separation. A gas spring provides further momentum to pivot the flasher assembly further to its predetermined stop position. To de-energize the flasher assembly, simply push the device back into position until it is held by the magnetism.
