Why should a passenger vehicle driver brake more gradually than they might in an empty cargo vehicle, when passengers are standing or unrestrained?

Pick an answer

1. Gradual braking is required only when the vehicle is at less than half capacity, since a fuller vehicle is assumed to be more stable overall
2. Braking technique has no relationship to passenger safety
3. Sudden braking can throw standing or unrestrained passengers off balance, causing injury
4. Passengers are never affected by how a vehicle brakes as long as they are seated
