Watch out, Duval: Former Ohio State player describes Urban Meyer’s dangerous driving

Watch out for Urban Meyer, Jacksonville drivers. According to former Ohio State player Joshua Perry, Meyer is a terrible driver.
Perry is part of a new podcast “Glory Days: Dreams and Nightmares” looking back on the Buckeyes’ 2014 national championship season. In a clip posted on YouTube, Perry recalled riding with Meyer, who doesn’t stress about getting pulled over.
Here’s what Perry shared, as transcribed by Awful Announcing:
“Urban Meyer might be the worst driver I have ever been in the car with. Here is the reason why: Anytime that he gets pulled over, he is not held accountable. Let me explain. Me and Craig Fada were going to meet Jim Schmidtke, who was with Athletes in Action at COSI (Center of Science and Industry) here in Columbus. It’s this science-deal museum. Interactive. Hands on. There was this movie playing that Jim suggested that we all go see together.”
“I think Urban had the Audi by then. The S7. Sportback. Really slick car. Stop signs did not exist. Red lights did not matter. Had not heard of a speed limit. I am white-knuckled, clenching the seat, what is going on?”
“And I am like, ‘Coach, why are you driving like this? Did you not see that stop sign? What happens when you get pulled over?’ And he’s like, ‘Well, typically they’ll pull me over and they’ll be like ‘Hey, you’re Urban Meyer.’ And I’ll be like, ‘Yep.’ And they’ll be like, ‘Man, great season you had last year,’ and I’ll be like, ‘Thanks.’ And then they’ll be like, ‘Hey coach, can I get an autograph?’ And I’ll be like, ‘Sure. And they’ll let me go.’ I don’t think he came to a complete stop one time until we pulled up to COSI.”
If Meyer’s Jacksonville Jaguars play as poorly as they did Monday night, the Duval County police may not be so friendly when pulling him over.
