Newton's First Law of Motion states: "An object in motion, remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force". Friction is an additional outside force that stops the motion of a vehicle faster. Without friction, the vehicle would never stop until it crashed into something.

Why is friction an important force?

friction is an important force to have in life because friction helps objects that move or roll stop. Like brakes on a car, when you push down on the brakes the friction is there when the wheels stop,and the car will stop to.
