Abstract

The invention relates to a method for avoiding pendular movements of a trailer (6) drawn by a motor vehicle (1). The invention is characterized in that the brakes of the wheels of the drawbar (8) are specifically applied to produce an additional torque which counteracts the pendular movements caused by torque (K).
