When does the control rating become 'Fair' regarding releasing the brake before the car stops?

The control rating becomes 'Fair' when the brake is released too early because this action can compromise the driver's ability to bring the vehicle to a complete and controlled stop. Releasing the brake prematurely may cause the car to roll or move forward unexpectedly, which can lead to a loss of control over the vehicle. This is particularly important in situations where stopping distance is critical, such as when approaching traffic signals or pedestrian crosswalks.

Maintaining proper control of the vehicle during the stopping process is essential for safety. If the brake is not held until the car is fully stopped, it can result in unintended acceleration or lead to an abrupt stop, thereby affecting the overall driving performance and safety. In contrast, the other options do not directly relate to the timing of brake release; for instance, the performance rating pertains specifically to the braking process and vehicle control, rather than actions that might not relate to stopping performance directly.
