You see a stop sign coming up well in advance. Why should you begin slowing down early rather than braking at the last moment?

Pick an answer

1. Early braking is required by law regardless of the passenger load, even on routes where no standing passengers are ever carried
2. So standing passengers have time to brace or find a handhold before the vehicle actually comes to a stop
3. It has no benefit for passengers, only for the vehicle's brakes
4. It saves more fuel than braking later would
