- **Cocaine** can increase impulsivity and aggressiveness, decrease the sense of danger, and affect concentration.
- **Ecstasy** and **LSD** can cause hallucinations and anxiety, which is extremely dangerous when driving.
- **Amphetamines** can lead to impulsive and violent behaviors, and a false sense of alertness that can result in sudden fatigue.
