Vomiting while driving can be extremely dangerous if you handle it poorly, but luckily you can take a few simple steps to stay safe. If you know you’re prone to sickness while driving, try to stay in the outer lane, which will make it easier for you to pull over. When you feel nauseous, pull over onto the side of the road and vomit. If this is impossible, slow down and turn on your hazard lights to let cars behind you know that you’re having an emergency. If you’re traveling at a high speed and can’t stop, take your foot off the accelerator and hover it over the brake in case you lose control and need to slow down. Use your indicators to warn other motorists of your problem. You should also stay facing straight ahead as you vomit, since your main consideration needs to be keeping your eyes on the road. If you can’t get to a bag or container, aim to vomit on the floor in front of you to minimize your movements. For tips on how to prevent nausea while driving, read on.
