The pedal is provided with a safety device, which works so as to release this pedal in the event of the vehicle suffering a frontal impact. The pedal body () is mounted on a bracket () having two parallel vertical plates (), in which there are arranged parallel holding slots () through which the pivoting shaft () of the pedal passes, the holding slots () opening onto the rear edge of the plates () and/or being flared to the rear. A lever () is provided which, in the event of an impact, pivots in engagement with the pivoting shaft () in order to release it until it emerges completely from the two holding slots () or is no longer retained by the edges of these slots. The pedal is thus entirely released, that is to say disconnected from its bracket (), and can then 'fall'. This pedal may be a brake pedal or a clutch pedal.
