The invention relates a method for driving a vehicle platoon (1) having a lead vehicle (2) and a plurality of vehicles (3) following the lead vehicle. The method comprises the steps of providing a first mode and a second mode for driving the lead vehicle (2), by using a first brake map (29a) for the first mode and a second brake map (29a') for the second mode for braking the lead vehicle (2), wherein the first brake map gives a lower brake force (27) on the lead vehicle than the second brake map for equal brake requests (22), and/or by using a first acceleration map (29b) for the first mode and a second acceleration map (29b') for the second mode for accelerating the lead vehicle (2), wherein the first acceleration map gives a lower traction force (28) on the lead vehicle than the second acceleration map for equal acceleration requests (25), and shifting from the first mode to the second mode when an operator of the lead vehicle (2) has performed a predetermined driving action.
