1. A driving support apparatus for a vehicle comprising a controller, the controller configured to perform a lane keeping assist that controls a vehicle such that a position of the vehicle in a width direction of a lane along which the vehicle is running corresponds to a target lateral position in the lane and that reflects steering by a driver of the vehicle in running of the vehicle, the controller recognizing a lane change operation by the driver, the lane change operation being an operation by which the vehicle makes a lane change from the lane along which the vehicle is running, to an adjacent lane, the controller being configured such that, when it is determined that a steering torque in a lane change direction given by the driver has changed from a predetermined threshold or more to less than the predetermined threshold, the lateral position of the vehicle at the time of the determination is set as the target lateral position, the determination being made, during execution of the lane keeping assist, after the lane change operation is recognized and before it is determined that a previously set lane change operation termination condition indicating that a lane change operation of the driver is terminated has been met.
