    Hi Smoothrider. Whilst many people can feel motion sickness whilst a passenger in a car (particularly if in the rear), I haven’t heard of anyone feeling sick whilst driving themselves. I would therefore think that it is more likely an issue with yourself than the car. One obvious thing that comes to mind is your eyesight. I think a sensible start point might be to have an eye test and explain to the optometrist the symptoms that you are experiencing. You may need glasses (if you don’t already wear them) or a change in your prescription (if you do). Vision problems can cause nausea whilst moving. Failing that an appointment with your GP may be wise but in the current climate you may be able to get an eye test quicker and a GP will probably advise an eye test anyway. Good luck.
