"Be Loud, Be Proud, Be Considerate" was the cheer recited by Bills fans at Training Camp July 29th. The Buffalo Bills, New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and TEAM Coalition partnered to educate Bills fans about the importance of designating a driver, buckling up, and demonstrating positive fan behavior. And the spokespeople for this important message were the Bills fans themselves.

US DOT / NHTSA 2005 NATIONAL DATA:
  • In 2004, 16,694 people were killed as a result of alcohol-related car crashes
  • Many, if not most of those lives would have been saved if people did not drive when they were impaired by alcohol or if they used sober, designated drivers or if they simply wore their seat belts.
  • Statistics and research clearly show that 21-34 year old males are the demographic most likely to be involved in an automobile crash, drive when impaired by alcohol, and fail to buckle up.
RHIR SCRIPT:

    “Hi, I’m [NAME], and I’m a Bills fan!
    I'm Loud, I'm Proud, And I am Considerate
    I always have a Designated Driver
    Bills Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk.
    Buckle Up America - Every Trip, Every Time.
    Responsibility Has Its Rewards.
    Go Bills!”
