Tunnels and Semis and Traffic...oh my!

One of my biggest fears is driving through tunnels. I avoided it at all costs, driving, that is. I have no problem riding if someone else is driving. But today, I braved it. I actually drove through three separate tunnels, the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, the Downtown Tunnel Portsmouth, and the Monitor-Merrimac Monitor Bridge Tunnel (MMMBT). See, I have almost realistic visions of my crashing and dying in a tunnel and not getting out, ever! You know, in the movies, the driver hits a bump, swerves a bit, over corrects, hits the wall, bounces into a neighboring car, and goes *BOOM*! But today, I conquered that fear. Well, for today at least. We'll see about tomorrow.

  2. I like to hold my breath in tunnels. Which could be bad if I'm the one driving and the tunnel is long ...

  4. You know, the tunnels never bothered me until the time I saw water dripping in the middle of the downtown. . . I never quite got over that.
