Answer: C - Have you ever thought of hurting yourself?

You may ask about psychological symptoms and screening tests when indicated by the driver's affect, behavior, or your interactions with the driver. It is the degree of inappropriateness and the cumulative effect of driver presentation and interaction that provide a cue that a driver may require more in-depth mental health evaluation. A driver who has a history of depression and who indicates, through affect or behavior, that he/she might be suicidal, should be questioned to determine the risk of suicide.
