Why should a driver announce or signal an upcoming hard stop to passengers when possible, such as before an emergency braking maneuver?

Pick an answer

1. It gives passengers a moment to brace themselves or hold on before the vehicle decelerates sharply
2. Announcements have no effect on how passengers experience a sudden stop
3. This step is required only when passengers are informed the vehicle has no seatbelts, since seatbelted passengers are assumed to already be braced
4. Warning passengers before braking is prohibited since it could cause panic
