Abstract
A safety arrangement is provided in a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has a floor pan () terminating at its forward end with an inclined splash-wall (). There is a moveable floor element () which has regions () which initially conform to and lie adjacent the splash-wall. There is a drive arrangement () associated with an accident sensor () to drive the moveable floor element rearwardly to a predetermined position. There is a fixed platform () located above a horizontal part of the floor pan to be located beneath the foot of a vehicle occupant and to provide a secure point for operation of a pedal. The movement of the moveable floor element () is restricted so that no part of the movable floor element impedes movement of a foot pedal () to the fully depressed condition.
