The larger vehicle would have way more kinetic energy than the smaller one therefore stopping the the distance of the smaller one would be way to easy for the larger one.

i hope this helps a lot

The kinetic energy of a large vehicle is greater than the kinetic energy of a small vehicle, so the stopping distance for the larger vehicle would also be greater.
