The vehicle motion control device of the invention utilizes that the
detected lateral acceleration Gyd based upon the output from the lateral
acceleration sensor takes a value obtained by adding a value
corresponding to the roll angle to the actual lateral acceleration based
upon the centrifugal force exerted on the vehicle and that the actual
lateral acceleration can accurately be calculated and estimated, as the
estimated lateral acceleration Gye, based upon the output from the yaw
rate sensor, whereby this device judges that there is a tendency in which
an excessive roll angle occurs on the vehicle to thereby execute the
predetermined roll-over preventing control, when the increasing speed of
the detected lateral acceleration Gyd exceeds the first predetermined
value and the increasing speed of the estimated lateral acceleration Gye
becomes smaller than the second predetermined value (
