The invention relates to a method for controlling a drive and brake device of a vehicle having a friction brake. The invention provides that in the case of stationary-state braking which has occurred as far as the stationary state of the vehicle with at least partial use of the friction brake, the braking distance covered during this stationary state braking is detected and is compared with a braking distance which is expected for this stationary state braking, wherein depending on a predefined deviation between the braking distance detected during this stationary state braking and the braking distance which is expected during this stationary state braking being exceeded, the velocity is automatically limited to a predefined maximum velocity at least for the travel by the vehicle subsequent to the stationary state braking or a signal is output for a vehicle driver indicating that a predefined maximum speed is to be complied with wherein the predefined maximum speed is lower than a maximum speed which is the maximum one which can be achieved by the vehicle or than a maximum speed which is the maximum one applicable for the route travelled on.
