Amphetamine/Speed

Amphetamines or Speed reduces attention span whilst driving, affecting ability to react to situations, causes headaches and dizziness, can lead to an irregular heartbeat and irregular breathing, can lead to feelings of irritation and cramps and affects co-ordination.

Because speed is a mental stimulant it can make drivers feel alert and confident but also overly excited and restless. A few hours in and the effects are rapid mood swings, depression, sleep problems, total exhaustion and fatigue.
