Driver assistance system in a motor vehicle with a speed limitation function

In the inventive driver assistance system that is, a function module for the speed limiting function is provided implemented in the specific conditions for exceeding the speed limit and again delaying the speed limit. Furthermore, the functional module generates signals to the execution of measures for generating or increasing the braking torque. In this case, a signal for carrying a binary signal of a measure (z. B. "coasting mode prohibited" / "coasting mode admitted") to be the only increases the delay in the form of a controller. but the signal to perform an action can also be a required braking torque curve in the form of a scheme to achieve the maximum speed within a predetermined period. In the second case, the predetermined time period is preferably less than a defined time window, in which a warning engagement of the speed limitation function is suppressed during an exceptionally permitted exceeding the speed limit.
