A vehicle drive assistance system equipped with an open hydraulic circuit has a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor and a reservoir. The system has a three-position valve suitable for: in a first position, supplying the hydraulic motor in a first direction of operation; in a second position, fluidly isolating the hydraulic motor from the hydraulic pump and connecting the hydraulic motor to the reservoir; and in a third position, supplying the hydraulic motor in a second direction of operation. A flow controller is positioned between the hydraulic pump and the three-position valve. The flow controller is configured in such a way as to selectively allow or not allow the passage of fluid through the supply duct of the hydraulic pump toward the three-position valve.
