speed freak
Loves going fast
A speed freak is someone addicted to amphetamines or methamphetamine—stimulant drugs known as speed.
The term dates to the 1960s drug culture: He'd been a speed freak for years before getting clean.
More loosely, a speed freak is anyone obsessed with going fast, whether driving, cycling, or working: She's a total speed freak on the highway.
