1. A method for operating a soil processing machine, wherein the soil processing machine comprises two roller units arranged at a distance from one another in a machine longitudinal direction, wherein each of the two roller units is rotatable around a roller axis of rotation, wherein the two roller units are pivotable with respect to one another in order to steer the soil processing machine, wherein in a straight-ahead steering state corresponding to a steering state of the soil processing machine with a minimum extent of steering, the roller axes of rotation of the two roller units are oriented parallel to one another, and in a cornering steering state corresponding to a steering state of the soil processing machine having an extent of steering differing from the minimum extent of steering, the roller axes of rotation of the two roller units have an orientation with respect to one another that deviates from a parallel orientation, wherein the method comprises following measures:
a) providing an extent of steering-driving speed relationship reflecting a maximum permissible driving speed as a function of the extent of steering,
b) detecting an actual extent of steering of the soil processing machine,
c) adjusting a driving speed of the soil processing machine such that the driving speed does not exceed the maximum permissible driving speed assigned to the actual extent of steering detected in measure b) in accordance with the extent of steering-driving speed relationship provided in measure a).
