1. In a motor vehicle, a preventive protection system comprising:

  • a safety sensor system configured to detect information about the motor vehicle;

    safety devices which are actuated as a function of information obtained from the safety sensor system; and

    a data evaluation and control device configured to compare the information with a triggering threshold value and actuate a safety device associated with a driving state when a criticality of the driving state is identified,wherein triggering of the associated safety device is actuated based on a force/time gradient of the identified criticality of the driving state;

    wherein a maximum force of the associated safety device is parameterized as a function of the identified criticality of the driving state;

    wherein said maximum force is built up over a time period which can be parameterized; and

    wherein a longitudinal-dynamics criticality of the driving state is assigned a larger force/time gradient than a lateral-dynamics criticality.
