Why is an out-of-adjustment brake dangerous even if the vehicle's other brakes are working normally?

Pick an answer

1. It affects only fuel economy, not stopping ability
2. It only matters if every brake on the vehicle is maladjusted at once, when even one brake out of adjustment already reduces the vehicle's total stopping power
3. It reduces overall braking power and can cause uneven braking that pulls the vehicle to one side
4. A single maladjusted brake only matters if more than half the brakes are affected
