Why do you need more space to stop safely when carrying a heavier load, even with correctly adjusted brakes?

Pick an answer

1. Weight has no relationship to the space needed to stop
2. Heavier loads only increase stopping distance above a certain fixed speed, something that trips up drivers unfamiliar with brakes
3. More weight increases the vehicle's momentum, requiring a longer distance for the brakes to overcome it
4. It only matters for vehicles without ABS
