Why should following distance be increased even further when driving a loaded tank vehicle in traffic?

Pick an answer

1. Following distance for tank vehicles is the same as for any other truck regardless of load, since braking systems are standardized across vehicle types
2. Following distance only matters in stop-and-go highway traffic, not city driving
3. Sudden braking risks setting off a forward surge, so more distance gives you room to slow down gradually instead of abruptly
4. Tank vehicles stop faster than other trucks, so distance can actually be reduced
