A pedal assembly support is articulated on a shaft connected to the dashboard of a vehicle. The pedal assembly support is attached to the dashboard by projections capable of deformation, and two ramp pieces connected to the dashboard, each piece having a ramp facing an upper end of a control lever of a clutch pedal and an upper end of a control lever of a brake pedal. The control levers are further connected to their respective clutch and brake components by rocker bars pivoting on a common shaft supported by the two ramp pieces. In a front impact, the projections collapse against the dashboard, and the pedal assembly support pivots about the shaft leading the ends of the control levers to rest on the ramps of the ramp pieces, swinging the control levers towards the bottom wall of the footwell.
