Braking in good timeThis was the right answer

Noise, vibration, exhaust emissions and fuel consumption all contribute to the environmental impact made by a lorry.

Good anticipation and forward planning will help to reduce these effects. Braking in good time saves fuel and so helps reduce exhaust emissions. It also helps reduce wear on the vehicle, its tyres and the road surface.
