Abstract: A vehicle driving assistance device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute acceleration suppression control for suppressing acceleration of a driver's vehicle in a case where a predetermined prohibition condition is not satisfied when an erroneous acceleration operation precondition is satisfied while a traveling condition is satisfied.
