Answer 1

less stopping distance

Step-by-step explanation:

When a car has less stopping distance, a greater breaking force is required. A greater force must be applied in order to cause the car to stop within a short breaking distance.

This is why a driver needs to apply the brakes when he is still a reasonable distance away from the desired stopping point to reduce the breaking force applied.
