Le’Veon Bell, who got high and drove to airport once, says Pittsburgh can’t drive

Le’Veon Bell was once arrested for DUI and possession of marijuana on his way to the airport, telling cops that “I smoked two hours ago. I’m not high anymore.”
But people in Pittsburgh, according to him, are bad drivers.
Via Sean Gentille of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers running back went on a social media tirade about the dangers of local traffic including the “Pittsburgh left,” the practice of making your turn if you’re first in line at an intersection before the oncoming traffic (which has the right of way) goes straight.
“I’m sitting at the red light, and the light turns green. I’m driving straight. The person that’s across from me, they’re turning left. They’re not supposed to go left until after I go straight. Soon as this light hits green, he hit them burners and turned left!,” Bell said. “This dude literally cut me off then had the nerve to stick his hand out the window like, ‘ah, ‘preciate it!’ Dude, I never gave you the OK. I never gave you the go-ahead. I never gave you the blinkers! You just took that on your own!”
He had some other gripes, including: “People out here treat yield signs like red lights. Then, people wanna wonder ‘why’s there so much traffic in Pittsburgh all the time?” It’s so much traffic because you’re stopping at yield signs when you’re supposed to be yielding and not stopping. Just yield!”
At least he was in the passenger seat of the car he was in at the time when he recorded the messages, so he’s learned something. Even if his own driving record shows that he doesn’t always use the best judgment behind the wheel.
