Abstract: The present invention concerns a steering control for vehicles such as automobiles or motorcycles in the form of a steering wheel or of a handlebar, with a gripping zone presenting an elastically variable geometry deformable under the action of the hand or the hands of the driver gripping the steering control fast and forcefully in case of danger, and thus of panic, in such a manner that a hydraulic or pneumatic sensor located inside the gripping zone is activated. According to the present invention the sensor (8, 16) extends over essentially the whole zone of the steering control (1) that can be gripped by at least one hand of the driver, and consists of a tube (9, 17) of elastic material, filled with a liquid, and embedded entirely in a foamed plastic material (6).
