ABSTRACT A brake or clutch pedal actuated safety switch for use with an automotive speed control system is disclosed. The switch opens an electric circuit and admits atmospheric air to a vacuum line when the brake pedal or clutch pedal is depressed. The elec- tric circuit normally opens first to deactivate the speed control system electrically at the system's regulator, and the vacuum line is opened subsequently to act as a backup for deactivation of the system. A rotatably mounted lever member, biased by a spring toward the deactivating position, controls both the electric and the vacuum circuits. When the pedal is fully released and returned to its undepressed position, a tension line rotates the lever member against the bias of the spring to a position wherein the electric circuit and the vacuum line are closed.
