Abstract
A method for regulating the speed of a vehicle, in which at least one vehicle traveling ahead is detected by a radar sensor within a radar detection range. An acceleration limitation is carried out in the vehicle to be regulated, when a vehicle moves, at lower speed than the vehicle to be regulated, in a neighboring lane provided for vehicles traveling at higher speed. The magnitude of the acceleration limitation is a function of the distance of the vehicle in the neighboring lane from the vehicle which is to be regulated, and of its speed with respect to the vehicle which is to be regulated.
