Like Gracie, I have a long bodied cart. In mine all four passengers face forward. Many of the tunnels in my area have a center island dividing the lanes at each end, making it very difficult to make the tight turns. To avoid damaging my tires I turn into and out of the tunnels very slowly.
This has become a habit in all tunnels. As the front of my cart slowly eases out of the tunnel the wild drivers get plenty of notice that I'm there..... even the guy who was coming the wrong way on a single lane ramp, meeting me head on.
I also drive slowly through the tunnels in order to minimize the sound of my gas engine echoing. Did honk the horn inside tunnels a couple of times in the summer of 2012 for the benefit of a six year old, but would not routinely honk.
Let people yell or gesture at me
for taking the tunnels slowly. I'm retired from a job where people used to shoot at me.
