Abstract
A vehicle steering device has a steering inhibition portion that enables the steering device to be switched between a steering inhibition application mode and a steering inhibition release mode--regardless of whether or not the vehicle is being steered by a driver. This arrangement avoids the need to determine whether or not the vehicle is being steered before determining whether or not to inhibit steering.
