A member asked:

How can i read in the car without feeling motion sickness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reading in the car: You're lucky. Your vestibular (balance canals filled with fluid in the inner ear) are just not that sensitive to the effects of close visual fixation while you are in motion. Enjoy your reading.
