A method for proposing a driving speed for a driver at the steering wheel of a vehicle comprises the following steps: estimating the maximum available grip potential at a given instant between a tyre of the vehicle and the roadway on a predetermined upcoming route; determining, among a set of predetermined driving styles, secure styles for which the grip requirement on the predetermined route remains lower than the grip potential; selecting, among said secure styles, a secure comfortable style according to a driver profile; and determining, according to said secure comfortable style and to a location of the vehicle, a basic proposed driving speed on an upcoming section of route.
