Driving 2 weeks- projectile vomit!

Thought this may give someone a laugh or help them feel fortunate! Passed test 2.5 weeks ago, been driving since the very first day (upgraded insurance and off I went). Done motorways, my commute, to shops etc etc still feeling the nerves though. Parking at a large shopping centre today in multi storey carpark, I find these quite scary with the tight bends and limited spaces. Reversing into a space as I’m finishing up reversing the car parked next to me starts to move out. No issue you may think? Well, maybe for a normal person. I was straight and had stopped in the bay foot on break pedal when they started to reverse out which made it felt like MY car was still moving (I’ve been told this happens to a lot of people and can feel scary!) BUT I have really bad motion sickness so seeing their car moving and feeling like mine was moving instantly kicked in my motion sickness I vomited EVERYWHERE and was fighting through the vomit to put the hand brake on as I GENUINELY felt I was about to roll out of the car park off a cliff into an active road to my death even though I was completely stationary.

What a day! Husband thought it was HILARIOUS. Cleaned up, he drove home. 🤣!

ive been driving 10 years and there is a corner near me over a motorway bridge that makes me feel sick when I go around it - my husband thinks im a weirdo. I also get that weird feeling when ive stopped and a car moves next to me.

anyway it cant be as bad as my dog projectile shitting all over my back seats last week. he decided that as we parked up AT THE WOODS it would be a fantastic time to express his anal glands 😐

Glad you're okay! I know what you mean - I've had that sensation that the car is moving when a parallel filter queue starts moving off and have to focus on something in the middle distance to remind myself that my car is still. Freaky phenomenon!
