Abstract
In a method of regulating the braking pressure in an antilock brake system it is provided that the rotational velocity of a wheel is compared with the rotational velocity of another wheel on the other vehicle side. When the rotational or angular deceleration of the one wheel exceeds a predetermined value, indicating a tendency to lock, but its rotational velocity is greater than that of the wheel on the other vehicle side, reduction of the braking pressure in an antilock regulation does not yet take place. This avoids wasting braking distance when negotiating a curve. It is only when thereafter the rotational velocity of the one wheel is a predetermined differential amount smaller than that of the other wheel that the braking pressure at the one wheel is lowered in conventional manner.
