Reasons you Get Carsick in Uber, Lyfts and Taxis

Have you ever gotten in the back of an Uber or Lyft and gotten car sick?

SAME.

Doctors have explained the different reasons this might happen when you're riding in a car and NOT while you drive. Here are some factors that may contribute:

  • Motion sickness- Dr. Laura Purdy (a board-certified family medicine physician) explained that's when what your eye sees doesn't match up with your inner ear sense.
  • Being in the back seat- Kinda along the lines of motion sickness, but being in the back can make it worse because you feel more of the movement. Dr. Samantha Nazareth (a board-certified gastroenterologist) said “You feel more force from the sharp turns.”
  • The driver... is not great- Dr. Purdy said, “If he or she drives too quickly, makes sudden stops or turns, or travels bumpy roads, this could result in motion sickness and cause nausea in passengers."
  • You feel anxious
