Correct answer
Increase in stopping distance
Stopping distance increases: it is the sum of reaction distance and braking distance. With the same reaction time, more distance is covered before braking, and with the same braking conditions more distance is needed to stop. Adapt the safety gap; higher speed does not justify reducing it.
