  1. The abilities needed to drive safely are not affected.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Any event can upset the driver and provoke impulsive reactions.

Depression often comes with anxiety and irritability. That's why a honking horn or a slow car ahead can trigger an exaggerated, impulsive reaction. You can have a category B driver's license if you have depression. A severe disorder with a high risk of dangerous behavior prevents this unless a psychiatrist or psychologist provides a favorable report.
