ABSTRACT:
A method for assisting, in a passing maneuver, for motor vehicles having a distance and speed control device, in which vehicles in the passing lane are taken into account and, if the traffic situation detected by sensors or an intervention by the driver suggests a desire to pass, control is temporarily carried out to an increased passing speed. The distances to the vehicles located in the passing lane are measured and the passing speed is calculated as a function of the distances of the vehicle to be passed and at least the vehicle directly preceding in the passing lane.
