Abstract
A control apparatus for driving a vehicle and a control method for driving a vehicle. A control apparatus for driving a vehicle has an engine start permission output control processing module which reads engine rotational speed; determines whether the engine rotational speed takes a value within a predetermined start disable range; does not output an engine start permission when the engine rotational speed takes a value within the start disable range; and outputs an engine start permission when the engine rotational speed takes a value except a value within the start disable range, and has an engine start control processing module which starts an engine when the engine start permission is outputted. An engine start permission is not outputted and the engine is not started when the engine rotational speed takes the value except the value within the start disable range.
