At the same time the pedal pivot shaft is mounted in the bracket support in a guide extending at least basically horizontally, the guide has limits in each horizontal direction. In addition the pedal pivot shaft in normal operation is fixed in a forward position of the guide, viewed in the forward direction of travel, and the fixing is neutralized in the event of a head-on collision. |
