Method for testing the stability of the driving behaviour of a motor vehicle and motor vehicle with a control unit allocated to a driving dynamics management system

The method involves testing whether value, which are determined for an actual driving situation, correspond to variables of a combination of possible values for the variables (S18), where the variables describe the driving situation. Lateral characteristics of a variable, which describes a state of a motor vehicle, of the determined driving situation are assigned (S20) to actual driving situation of the motor vehicle when the values determined for an actual driving situation correspond to variables of the combination of possible values for the variables during travel.
