Do you get car-sick?

GTO · 29th January 2007, 12:46

While travelling on the backseat? I just realised that I cannot sit on the backseat for too long.....I actually get car sick and all whoozy / pukey!!! Whats funnier is that this happens within the city. So the only option I have when being chauffeured around is to take the front seat.

I guess we car guys are only made to drive. And not be driven around.

I don't get car sick not even on twisties & mountain routes. But if I have to sit in the car for too long & can't drive it then I do get depressed & all broody!! Can't help it's just a natural reaction, I HAVE to drive the car if I'm sitting in it!

I agree ......Once had to go to delhi for FBD ...... and i was sitting on the back seat....I was feeling restless as I could not drive.....

Well not sick but I do get a bit sleepy

ported_head · 29th January 2007, 13:04

Not one bit. I have no issues with long drives, twisty drives, bad road drives, Volvo B7R drives, and a massive appetite for G forces. Unless I'm under some sort of medication, then it's a different scenario.

So none of you guys got a problem with travelling on the back seat?

Rtech · 29th January 2007, 13:14

I do...leaves me too much time to notice any unwanted noises in the car!!!

I get car-sick if I have to sit on back-seats for more than 20 minutes for 2 reasons. 1) I have no control over the car and 2) no control over the music either.
But in evening, forget front seats or back seats, I would be happier sitting even in boot then on driving seat..thanks to traffic jams at Badarpur and Kalindi Kunj ( I travel from Faridabad to NOIDA daily).

Only once when I sat in the rear bench seat of a Sumo the facing bench ones. Other than that no

normally_crazy · 29th January 2007, 13:16

I have no problems in cars (hatch/sedan) but put me in a MUV / SUV, jeeps specially and I get all uneasy...

khaadu75 · 29th January 2007, 13:17

No probs at all ...... the only thing that gets me all queasy is sitting with someone I never sat with and scared that he might HIT some poor soul on the road .................. !!!

cheers

No issues at all while travelling/driving and can go on and on and on... in this respect.Dont like sleeping in the car and am usually entrusted the duty of ensuring our driver is awake [if I am not driving that is].Back seat/front seat/backward facing seats no problem for me.

Only issue is I prefer travelling with the ac on especially on hot afternoons.

I cannt even sit in the front seats for long , it helps little to have the AC at full blast ,but not for long.
The same applies to me for buses ,airplane ...train is an exception .
I hate the smell inside the cars and buses it makes me puke .
It has to be open top with fresh air gushing in always otherwise i can stand it .
