What is claimed is: 1. An imminent collision wireless warning system comprising: a safety device with a main controller and a display controller; a plurality of a client device wirelessly communicating with the main controller; a plurality of a monitoring device communicating with the main controller and the plurality of a client device; and wherein the main controller keeps track in proximity of the plurality of a client device, and issues a timely warning of an impending collision between the safety device and the plurality of a client device; and/or issues a timely command to the main controller wherein a central processing unit is operatively arranged to reduce engine output, and/or apply braking force, and/or transmission downshift so as to avoid the imminent collision with said plurality of a client device so as to enable a vehicle operator's collision avoidance maneuver. 2. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the safety device is mounted onto a vehicle. 3. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the client device is carried by a person. 4. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring device monitors both the safety device and the client devices. 5. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring device comprises an intelligent monitoring device (IMD). 6. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring device comprises an automobile registry communication system (ARCS). 7. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the main controller communicates directly with the client devices. 8. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the main controller communicates with the client devices through the monitoring device. 9. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein communication between the main controller, the plurality of client devices and the monitoring devices is accomplished by utilizing radiation within the electromagnetic spectrum. 10. The wireless system according to claim 9, wherein communication between the main controller, the plurality of client devices and the monitoring devices is accomplished by utilizing WLAN IEEE 802.11x & 802.16x standards. 11.
