A pedal support for a motor vehicle includes a first partial spindle, a second partial spindle, a clamp, a bracket connected to a crash-deformable bodywork part of the motor vehicle, and a stay in engagement with another part of the pedal support and connected to a crash-stable bodywork part of the motor vehicle. The bracket includes side walls, each having an outside. The first partial spindle and the second partial spindle are each mounted in one of said the walls and spaced apart in an axial direction. A spring force acts on the partial spindles in the axial direction. The clamp includes two parallel limbs, each limb being connected to one of the partial spindles and bearing against the outside of one of the side walls, such that a relative movement of the crash-deformable bodywork part to the crash-stable bodywork part urges the partial spindles away from each other so as to release a pedal supported by the partial spindles.
