There's two places where it's *compulsory* to beep in the tunnel - the tiny little ones near Kaikoura, and the Haitaitai/Mt Vic Tunnel.
I can't explain why, but there's a sense of satisfaction when you beep in the tunnel and someone else beeps back. It's enough to ruin yr day when nobody beeps back.
I guess it must be annoying for pedestrians in the tunnel. I guess it's also annoying to be one of the people who doesn't dress up at the Sevens, a vegan at a BBQ, or a teetotaler at a St Paddy's day party.
