Claim 0:
1. A method for adapting a driving behavior of a motor vehicle, comprising at least the following steps:
a. inspecting a driving behavior of a motor vehicle travelling consecutively with a road user in a direction of travel, wherein the consecutive travel is detected by at least one sensor of the motor vehicle;
b. in the event of loss of detection of the road user by the at least one sensor, checking position-related traffic data related to a present position of the motor vehicle for predicting a position of the road user;
c. if the predicted position of the road user reveals consecutive travel, inspecting the driving behavior of the motor vehicle as in the case of consecutive travel detected by means of the at least one sensor;
d. ascertaining the position-related traffic data of the motor vehicle in a manner specific to type, on a basis of stored maps, local speed regulations, weather data, route data of the road user and position related driving behavior of road users that have traveled at this position beforehand; and
e. intervening in the driving behavior of the motor vehicle and outputting recommendations to a driver of the motor vehicle such that the driver adapts the driving behavior based on the detected consecutive travel and the position-related traffic data ascertained in step d, wherein when the road user follows the motor vehicle in the direction of travel and performs an overtaking maneuver, the intervening in the driving behavior of the motor vehicle comprises causing the motor vehicle to perform at least one of a sudden reduction in speed and an evasive steering maneuver if required to ensure that the road user has sufficient space to pull into a gap between the motor vehicle and a preceding motor vehicle.
