Different people are susceptible to car sickness in different ways, but the reason for feeling queasy is associated in most cases with motion. A frequent cause of sickness is being unable to associate the feeling of motion with where the vehicle is going, so it often helps if the passenger can see the road ahead - sitting in the front rather than the back can make all the difference.


Stuffy conditions can also be a problem, so ensuring good airflow through the vehicle (by opening a window or turning up the climate control), may make passengers feel better.

 

Car sickness can also be caused by rough driving. Firm but gentle steering, even application of the brakes, and constant pressure (where possible) on the accelerator pedal will all be appreciated by passengers, even if they don't know why.
