I am wondering if my sentence is grammatically correct.

David often drives himself beyond his physical limits, which makes some people think he is on drugs.

I'd use "pushes", not "drives". I can't say that "drives" is wrong but we generally refer to people pushing themselves to/beyond their limits.

emsr2d2,

I am just wondering is it enough to say "pushes himself beyond his limits." or do I need to add "physical".

emsr2d2,

I am just wondering if [STRIKE]is it[/STRIKE] it is enough to say "pushes himself beyond his limits (no full stop here)" or do I need to add "physical"?

If he pushes himself only beyond his physical limits, then you need to specify that. If he pushes himself beyond all his limits, then just leave "limits".
