  • Method for warning a driver of a vehicle about exceeding of a speed limit, and vehicle
    Patent number: 9177470
    Abstract: A method warns a driver of a vehicle about exceeding of a speed limit. First of all, it is determined whether a speed limit is present and what the driving speed of the vehicle is. If the driving speed of the vehicle is greater than the driving speed which is permissible according to the speed limit, a warning signal of a first type is emitted. Subsequently, the reaction of the driver to the warning signal of the first type is determined. A warning signal of a second type is emitted in a time-delayed manner, or the emitting of the warning signal of the second type is suppressed, depending on the reaction of the driver to the warning signal of the first type. A vehicle carries out a method of this type.
