ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering device includes a rotatable steering handle including grips lying on left and right sides of the steering handle in a straight-ahead driving position with a non-grip space left on at least one of upper and lower sides of the steering handle; and an airbag provided in the steering handle that is deployed between the steering handle and a driver to restrain the driver in the event of a collision. The steering handle includes a support unit movable from a stowed position to an operative position on the vehicle's forward side from a reference plane including a rotating trajectory of a portion of the steering handle normally facing the driver. The support unit supports the rear surface of the airbag deployed in the non-grip space.
