Here's a great real life example so you don't forget this.
Cars these days are built with ABS dynamics, anti-lock braking system.
static friction will always be greater than kinetic friction.
if your wheels lock while you step down on the brake real hard, real quick, your tires are stopping/skidding using kinetic friction. This causes your tire treads to wear out quicker and makes you stop in a longer distance.
ABS dynamics makes it so that when you step real hard on the brake, your brakes are pumped making sure your wheels don't start locking and skidding, allowing you to use entirely static friction to stop the car.
😉 but don't take my word for it. try it out for yourself, and you've probably perceived this as well, just not realized it that your car pumps a couple of times to a stop if you're trying to brake in a really short distance.
