The present invention relates to a method of improving the control , behavior of an electronically regulated and/or controlled driving stability control system, wherein input quantities for the control are derived from the rotational behavior of the wheels and wherein in situations which are critical for driving stability, the driving stability is increased by braking pressure introduction and/or braking pressure modulation. In order to obviate the need for a precharging pump, the present invention proposes that criteria for evaluation of the driving situation and for the early detection of a driving situation inhering an increased risk are derived from the rotational behavior of the wheels, and that the commencement of driving stability control is prepared upon detection of a driving situation inhering an increased risk. A brake system for implementing the method is also an object of the present invention.
