A yaw controller for a vehicle allows easy manipulation of controls for actively developing brake force in an particular right or left wheel to achieve the turning performance and cornering desired by the driver. A pair of lever style yaw moment booster switches [Y2 and Y1) extending out from the steering column is provided at the front (driver side) of the steering wheel (S3) along the right and left spokes (3b and 3a) from the center pad (1). The yaw moment booster switches (Y2 and Y1) can then be easily operated by the driver while holding the steering wheel (ST3) with both hands by simply extending a thumb to press the desired switch. More particularly, the switches are placed at approximately the ten o'clock and two o'clock positions of the steering wheel (ST3) slightly above the left and right spokes (3a and 3b).
