PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driver-protecting pedal device configured to maximally prevent a leg of a driver from being injured due to a pedal arm when a vehicle collision and a rear-end collision occur.SOLUTION: A pedal arm 50 is configured by rotatably connecting an upper end part to a pedal member 10 via a pedal hinge shaft 40 in a front side position of a lever hinge shaft 20. At the time of a collision and a rear-end collision, when the pedal member 10 is pushed into the rear and a reverse rotation lever 30 rotates in contact with a fixing member 5 of a vehicle body, the pedal arm 50 is separated from the pedal member 10 by rotation force of the reverse rotation lever 30.
