Abstract
A motor vehicle comprises at least two driven axles (2, 5). One (5) of said axles can be disconnected from the prime mover (1). In order to prevent a swerving of the vehicle without a need for interrupting the transmission of power to one (5) of the driven axles (2, 5) during each braking operation, the vehicle is provided with a sensor (6) for measuring the angular acceleration of its yawing movement. In response to a rise of the angular acceleration to a predetermined value the sensor (8) causes a clutch control means (15) to disconnect one driven axle (5) from the prime mover (1), or operates means for effecting a pressure drop in the brake system.
