Good luck with that in any of MY cars, ever, and I'm almost 74 yo.


Both curves and turns are designed for accelerating, NOT braking.


Instruct any passengers to always look out the windshield as though they are actually driving the vehicle...if this fails to work...simply kick em out of the car at the next stop.
Agreed. Braking in a corner pulls a passenger's back away from the seat and simultaneously pushes their torso sideways. That's not good for people who suffer from motion sickness. But accelerating through a corner, even light acceleration, pushes a passenger's back into their seat and stabilizes them.

If I may add, as someone who suffers from motion sickness, I prefer sport cars with tight suspensions, like one of the twins. Its soft cars like a Blubbery-Buick that can be bad for me.
