For some people, reading in the car is a great way to pass the time. For others, it's a one-way ticket to motion sickness. It happens when your eyes focus on a stationary object but your inner ear experiences movement.

But there's bad news for book lovers who do get carsick: Susmita recommends that anyone who feels motion sickness should limit or altogether avoid reading while in the car.
