Method for supporting a user of a driving unit

The method involves detecting current vehicle operating data e.g. vehicle speed. The data is transmitted to a control unit (1). Driving data e.g. road state information, of situation-related driving rules is stored in a driving rule memory unit (4). The driving data of the rules associated to current and/or upcoming route data is transmitted from the memory unit and compared with the operating data. An information signal is produced in case of deviation of the driving and operating data from each other and transmitted to an information unit (7) to output information e.g. acoustic information.
