  3. Large vehicles need to shift more often.
  4. A and B
  5. B and C
Explanation
Answer: D - Large commercial vehicles often need much more time to pick up speed when entering traffic than smaller vehicles, and therefore require more of a gap in order to blend into traffic. Drivers must always look for a big enough gap, and adjust their speed to meet that gap, when entering moving traffic.
