ABSTRACT:
A vehicle pedal locking device includes a multi-piece housing assembly having an internal chamber, a two-part sleeve-like pedal engaging member disposed within the housing assembly, and a lock assembly for selectively securing the housing assembly portions in a pedal-securing orientation. Housing assembly portions each include a corresponding portion of the pedal engaging member, and the pedal engaging member pieces secure opposite ends of a selected brake pedal. The lock assembly is key operated and substantially enclosed within the device outer housing. The housing internal chamber substantially surrounds the secured brake pedal and accelerator. With this arrangement, the present invention prevents unwanted pedal operation. The present invention also protects the secured pedals and included lock assembly from abuse and makes unauthorized removal of the device difficult.
