Car Drives Into Duboce Muni Tunnel Again
What's the opposite of Pride?

Shame, of course. That's no doubt what the driver of this car felt last night as he or she attempted to enter the Muni tunnel -- on the outbound side, no less!
Matt Baume for SFist
SFist reports that a "gaggle of passersby" tried to dislodge the car. The driver was "booked on suspicion of driving under the influence, driving on train tracks and failure to obey a stop sign," according to the 'Fist. Thankfully, no one was injured. Haighteration reader Ashley S. witnessed the foolishness around 11:30pm, and sent in this account:
"Just saw someone drive straight into the Muni tunnel at Duboce. If only I had had my phone / video out! Stay safe out there! Everyone driving this weekend should be considered drunk."
Indeed. An impossibly bright LED sign was installed at the entrance two years ago in the hopes of preventing such incidents, but as this case and a similar one a year ago prove, there's only so much you can do to stop an absent-minded (or impaired) driver. Update: Apparently this was the other Duboce Muni tunnel, at Duboce and Noe. Perhaps we need a second impossibly bright sign?
