Provided herein is a method for assisting a driver with driving a motor vehicle. The method includes ascertaining a permissible driving speed in a route section by evaluating environmental data describing the motor vehicle environment. The method further includes calculating a target maximum speed, which is lower than the permissible driving speed, by subtracting a predefined reduction amount from the permissible driving speed and/or by multiplying the permissible driving speed by a predefined scaling factor. The method further includes controlling at least one alert device for outputting an alert to the driver when a present driving speed of the motor vehicle exceeds the target maximum speed and/or controlling the driving speed of the motor vehicle by a longitudinally guiding driver assistance system, wherein the target maximum speed is used as a maximum speed or as a target speed.
