Do you hold your breath in tunnels?

[RealHousewivesOfTaunton]

Not if you're driving, obviously, but if you're a passenger in a car or train. We've always done this as a family and consider it a normal game, with the winner holding their breath the whole way through or for the longest.

Of course.

Absolutely. Except the really bloody long one in France.

Yep.

Obviously. Can't imagine the consequences if I didn't.

This is what made me think of it - I managed nearly 1.5km outside Geneva yesterday!

Quite an achievement…how fast were you going 🤣

Nope, never heard of this!

No but I duck when I drive under a low bridge or a barrier. I knows it’s ridiculous and in doing so I won’t make my car any lower but it’s just instinct

Never heard of this.
There’s a tunnel in North Wales where drivers beep the car horn. 🤷‍♀️

Don't try it in the Chamonix Mont Blanc tunnel.

I used to as a child. We grew up in Glasgow so my brother and I used to always do it going through the Clyde Tunnel.

Unfortunately nowadays it sets off a heart condition I have somehow (anything that affects my breathing like a super windy day can do it too) so it's safer for me not to even attempt it now.

I duck too , an automatic response.

It was a coach driver on a mission to get us to the airport, so probably faster than we were supposed to.

I've never ducked but I have breathed in when it's a tight old bridge.

Me three, no idea why and every time I do it I think Why are you doing that! I have also been known to lean going round corners a habit from days of riding pillion on a motorbike.
