Honk your horn to alert drivers cutting the corners entering the tunnels.
I almost got in an "accident" yesterday at the Caroline end of the tunnel under Morse by SweetBay. A driver severely cut the corner entering the tunnel from the Caroline side as I was approaching the east side of the tunnel.
I once saw a driver honking her horn whenever she approached a tunnel entrance or exit. I pondered this behavior for a couple of seconds before I realized she was warning drivers approaching the from the opposite direction of her presence. I started doing it myself, but with the decreased traffic of summer I got out of the habit.
After yesterday's near miss, I will get back into the habit again.
Why people think it is appropriate to cut blind corners I'll never know. Its such a dangerous thing to do.
As always, and especially when living in a retirement community, we must interact with each other with kindness and patience. Everyone makes mistakes.
Be safe and practice defensive driving.
And stay on you side of the road near those tunnels!
