A truck driver accused of attacking two schoolteachers in a violent act of road rage on the Tullamarine Freeway is "withdrawing from ice", a court has heard.

Elten Gevergizyan, 27, appeared handcuffed in the dock of Broadmeadows Magistrates Court on Wednesday where he made no application for bail.

Visibly disheveled and dressed in a long sleeve grey T-shirt, Mr Gevergizyan sat silently throughout his brief court appearance.

Lawyer Mihal Greener told the court her client was withdrawing from the drug ice.
