    no. I used to sometimes read out loud to others in the car. Kept kids quiet and husband awake on long drives.
    Now only when we stop for breaks at scenic look outs.
    I spend the drives watching for moose and bear on the sides of the road which usually end up running onto the road as you get close.
    Northern Ontario has too much beautiful scenery to be reading while travelling through the area.
    It is also a nice quiet time to talk to Don with nobody able to interrupt. well police with ticket books are the exception.

    If I'm riding shotgun or backseat, then yes, I love to read while on a long drive. I had a friend who would get wickedly carsick if she attempted to read even small amounts.

    If I read in a moving car, I vomit on the seat

    But all I do is read on airplanes, and no one ever complains about the smell

    I have never thrown up in a car or an airplane........okay once, but that was for a different reason.
    The reason was because I didn't read in the car.
    If I don't do anything in the car I get sick. Very sick.
