4. A driving support method for prohibiting a collision control for avoiding a collision between a vehicle and an object or for mitigating a damage caused by the collision when an override condition for determining that an acceleration operation of a driver is an override operation is satisfied, the driving support method being executed by a computer installed on the vehicle, comprising:
a first step of executing the collision control without prohibiting the collision control, in a case where the override condition is satisfied while the controller is determining that the acceleration operation is an erroneous operation;
a second step of determining that the acceleration operation is the erroneous operation, when a predetermined normal erroneous operation condition is satisfied, or when a predetermined relaxation erroneous operation condition that is easier satisfied than the normal erroneous operation condition is satisfied and a predetermined relaxation condition is satisfied; and
a third step of determining that the relaxation condition is satisfied, when a number of executions of the collision control while the controller is determining that the acceleration operation is the erroneous operation in one trip is greater than or equal to a first threshold number or when a number of determinations that the acceleration operation is the erroneous operation in one trip is greater than or equal to a second threshold number.
