Here's a funny thing . . .

Why after a track training session do I drive my car well within the speed limits? I forgot
all about that - it's been a while. It's just like driving after a spliff *ahem* so I've been
told. WTF????

Ahem, indeed, Mal.

Once in a while, if I accidentally overdose on my anti-convusant drugs (carbamazepine and clobazam -
mainly carbamazepine, I'd guess) I feel as if I've smoked a spliff - as I have too been told!

Maybe Dr Helen V could throw some light on this curious matter.

PS Now, where's the food?

I found a similar effect after going go-cart racing on a works do.

Immediately after karting or motor racing most people experience the opposite effect. They are
still in racing mode. When I used to race saloon cars, and even now after the very occasional
playing with karts, I had to make a conscious effort for the first few miles to think "road
driving, road driving."

My car (Ford Ka) just felt such a boat after the cart that it wasn't worth pushing it.
