ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A gas pedal movement dampening arrangement has a spring assembly disposed on a base plate located directly beneath the gas pedal for a motor vehicle. In one embodiment, the damping unit comprises a spherical hollow elastic body having an air outlet nozzle which affords a linearly progressively increasing resistance force to further downward movement of a gas pedal until beyond a certain point whereupon the resistance force decreases. This enables free movement to full-throttle positions of the gas pedal if such is desired. In another embodiment, the damper unit comprises a spring assembly with a U-shaped spring biasing against downward movement of the gas pedal. Switch means operating upon movement of the gas pedal are also provided for controlling an indicator system informing the vehicle operator of his driving condition as a function of gas pedal movement. In a further embodiment, the damper unit and switch means are con- tained within a hemispherically shaped hollow body which is engageable by the gas pedal.
