Here, the normal reverse lamp switch SW2 is installed in a transmission (not shown) or the like and is automatically turned on at the same time the driver selects the reverse gear.

However, in such a conventional vehicle, there is a case where the direction is changed left and right even in reverse driving, and it is very difficult for the driver to operate the direction indication lamp for indicating the direction. In other words, during backward driving, the driver typically turns back and looks back through the rear windshield and backs the car. At this time, since the steering wheel is operated with one hand due to the structure of the body, it is very difficult to turn on the direction indicator lamp by operating the selection lever at the same time as the steering wheel is operated in such a situation, and the steering wheel may miss the steering wheel. There are dangerous problems.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and automatically controls the direction indication lamp of the vehicle to turn on or turn off the direction indication lamp automatically in accordance with the rotation direction of the steering wheel during the operation of the vehicle, in particular, in reverse driving. In providing a device.
