Car or motion sickness happens when your body can sense that it is in motion, but your eyes can't see that you're in motion (like when your eyes are focused on reading a book). Your body gets confused and you get "sick."
The best way to get rid of it is to make it apparent to yourself that you're moving. I get car sick too, so I try to sit by a window so I can see the moving road with my peripheral vision. I tried this just recently, and was able to read during a half-hour ride, when before I couldn't even read for thirty seconds before I felt dizzy.
