Abstract: A vehicle driving support apparatus to be applied to a vehicle comprises a running environment recognizer; a preceding vehicle information acquirer that detects a vehicle class and variation in behavior of a preceding vehicle; an amount-of-steering control calculator that calculates an amount of steering control to cause the vehicle to run along a target path of travel set on a lane; a disturbance estimation control calculator that estimates lateral-direction disturbance to calculate an amount of steering against the disturbance based on the estimated disturbance; and a coordination controller that corrects the amount of steering control with the amount of steering. If a rolling direction and a lateral motion direction of the preceding vehicle coincide with each other, the disturbance estimation control calculator determines that the variation in the behavior of the preceding vehicle is caused by the disturbance, and calculates the amount of steering.
