Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had at one time hoped to become a licensed driver Tuesday.

Smith-Schuster — a rookie whose bicycle theft last week made news around the country — previously told the Tribune-Review that he got his learner’s permit seven days ago and was scheduled to take his road test today.

But later Tuesday, he told Tribune-Review news partner WPXI that he pushed the test back.

Smith-Schuster’s bike has been his main mode of transportation, but it was reported stolen on Oct. 24. The next day, authorities found it in Mt. Oliver and returned it to the 20-year-old football player.

Other media outlets have reported he is taking the test Tuesday and this week, which is what he initially told the hosts of 96.1’s morning show last week.

A parody Twitter account for Smith-Schuster’s yet-to-be-obtained license was created.

To obtain a learner’s permit in Pennsylvania , would-be drivers 16 and older must pass a written test and physical exam, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Smith-Schuster is not subject to the six-month waiting period and 65 hours of adult-supervised driving that the department requires of those under 18 with a learner’s permit.Renatta Signorini is a Tribune-Review staff writer.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
