1. A driving support device for a vehicle traveling on a road with travel lanes, comprising:

  • a side obstacle detection device for detecting a presence of an obstacle on a side of the vehicle;

    a future position predictor that predicts a future position of the vehicle after a prescribed time starting from when the obstacle is detected by the side obstacle detection device; and

    a controller configured to perform the following control;

    set a control start position that is a prescribed lateral position in a lane width direction;

    selectively apply a yaw moment to the vehicle in a direction to prevent the vehicle from approaching the obstacle if the future position of the vehicle is closer to the obstacle in the lane width direction than the control start position; and

    when the obstacle is detected by the side obstacle detection device in a detection cycle subsequent to a detection cycle in which no obstacle is detected, suppress application of the yaw moment to the vehicle if a current lateral position of the vehicle is closer to the obstacle than a prescribed lateral position set between a center of the travel lane and the control start position.
