Claim Text:
1. A method for promoting a uniform driving style, determining, by a processor in a control system of a motor vehicle, a longitudinal speed of the motor vehicle and a radius of curvature of a route segment ahead of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is approaching the route segment, determining, by the processor, a lateral acceleration to be expected when driving through the route segment from the radius of curvature and the longitudinal speed of the motor vehicle, and comparing, by the processor, the lateral acceleration of the motor vehicle to be expected with a first fixed specified lateral acceleration limit value and with a second lateral acceleration limit value specifiable by the driver, in the case in which the lateral acceleration to be expected is greater than at least one of the first and second lateral acceleration limit values, the processor reduces the longitudinal speed of the motor vehicle by at least one of: until the lateral acceleration to be expected is less than or equal to a lower one of the first and second lateral acceleration limit values, and in the case in which the lateral acceleration to be expected is less than or equal to the lower of the first and second lateral acceleration limit values, the processor reduces the deceleration of the longitudinal speed of the motor vehicle by reducing an engine drag torque.
