Answers:
The reason you get carsick is because your brain is confused!. You don't feel like you're moving, and yet all your senses are telling you that you are!. In response, you feel disoriented and sick!.

I've found the best way to counteract this feeling is to look at the horizon!. Look at something that's not moving, so your brain doesn't feel so confused!. You can look at the sky, too - inspect the clouds!. Just don't look at the road, or at the trees whizzing by!. That's the opposite of what your brain wants!.

Alternatively, you can also take dramamine, a drug for motion sickness!. It makes you drowsy, but will help you from getting sick!. I believe you can buy those at Target or what have you, and don't need a prescription for it!. It's just like Advil or Tylenol, from what I understand!.

You might just have to give up on reading in the car!. Try listening to audio tapes instead, or find joy in taking naps - that always works! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get car sick on normal roads, but I'm fine on the highway, perhaps because of the constant speed and lack of turns!. I remember when I was little I almost threw up in the car, so we pulled over at a shopping mall and my dad went in and bought a bag of lollipops, and I felt fine after having one!. Perhaps that will work for you!. Either that or do like the other person said and eat mints!. Or you could ask someone else in the car to read to you instead (provided there are more people in the car than you and the driver, which could be a road hazard)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know same here, i was reading a Bliss magazine in the car (Looking down at it) and i felt REALLY sick- i had to lie down! anyway,its because your nerves in your brain are confused and it makes you feel ill!.
It actually makes you feel worse reading on car trips- if you really have to read Don't look down at your book- try and keep it in front of you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah this happens to me too!. Tips I've had is to eat mints, read with sunglasses on and to have a window open!.!.!.hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com
