A method for reversing a vehicle combination comprising a towing vehicle and at least one trailer , said method comprising: (S10) reversing the vehicle combination, (S20) determining whether a jack-knifing condition (J) is about to occur by comparing a predicted future estimate of the articulation angle (Φ) with a maximum safe articulation angle (Φ lim ), and, when it is determined that the jack-knifing condition (J) is about to occur, performing at least one of the following steps: (S30) issue a warning signal, and (S40) initiate a braking action for the vehicle combination, characterized in that : the maximum safe articulation angle (Φ lim ) is estimated by at least performing the following steps: (S1) receiving a preset maximum safe articulation angle (Φ lim ) for the towing vehicle or the vehicle combination , (S2) receiving a signal being indicative of an articulation angle (Φ) of the vehicle combination during forward driving of the vehicle combination , and (S3) updating the maximum safe articulation angle (Φ lim ) when the articulation angle (Φ) of the vehicle combination during forward driving is larger than the preset maximum safe articulation angle (Φ lim ); and in that the predicted future estimate of the articulation angle (Φ) is based on an estimated driver reaction time for initiating a braking action.
