Maybe closing one eye would help some--your eyes may not give your brain equal information and that might be causing your vertigo.
Talking to an eye doc or maybe look up the problem on the internet might give you some help. If sitting either in the front or back seat makes it worse, try the opposite and see if it is reduced.

Arrgghhh, the aggravating sxs that this stupid disease gives us...
Come to think of it my worst episode of motion sickness was when I was a passenger in the back seat. My DIL's Dad was driving and he drives like a maniac! Switching lanes, speeding up, slowing down quickly and taking sharp turns. I have never been so glad to get out of a car in my life!

Your comment about my eyes possibly not giving my brain equal information makes a lot of sense. I'll ask about that. I need to go to the eye doctor again soon anyway. I have lost some weight and guess what are too loose now? My GLASSES!! Of all things! Couldn't have been my jeans.....oh, no......has to be my glasses! Guess I lost weight in my head!!
