What are some ideas for a high school seat belt safety day? ?

The only ideas I can find online are songs and kiddie games for little kids. I'm looking for ideas that are a little more appropriate for high school students.
Statistics and pictures do not mean anything to my school mates, I know because for the past three years that's what we've done & no impact.

We also pass out caution tape to other students and tell them to wear the caution tape like a seat belt for the whole day. Other students get involved, but some make a joke of it, like taking five cation tape strips and making a cape out of them.

It's just frusterating trying to help my school with something that is not only dangerous not to wear a seat belt, but it's also illegal no to wear a seat belt.

I think a great way to inform other students about the importance of seat belt safety is to provide statistics and facts that relate to reasons as to why seat belt restraint should be encouraged. Here are a few statistics you can add.

* Failure to wear a seat belt contributes to more fatalities than any other single traffic safety-related behavior. 63% of people killed in accidents are not wearing seat belts. Wearing a seat belt use is still the single most effective thing we can do to save lives and reduce injuries on America's roadways.

* If 90 percent of Americans buckle up, we will prevent more than 5,500 deaths and 132,000 injuries annually.

* Seat belts are the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save 9,500 lives each year. Yet only 68 percent of the motor vehicle occupants are buckled. In 1996, more than 60 percent of the occupants killed in fatal crashes were unrestrained.

I went to my local Mazda dealer and asked them to disconnect that loud, bloody annoying seat-belt alarm. The customer service rep wanted me to sign a waiver to cover his ass and the tech wanted to charge me $109 and said he needed the car for two hours. Well, I didn’t have two hours to spare and so I drove home becoming increasingly angrier as that alarm kept blasting away. I decided when I got home I would look in the owner’s manual and find the phone number for the Mazda Corporate Headquarters. For some reason, I knew they wouldn’t allow me to disconnect it but I was mad and was determined to complain about it. Then, on page 90 were the directions for “Deactivating the BeltMinder Feature."

Follow the steps carefully as one mistake will nullify your success.

1) Make sure parking brake is set.

2) Put gearshift in park.

3) Ignition switch is in the off position.

4) The driver and passenger seatbelts are not buckled.

5) Turn ignition to the run (on) position. (Note: do not start the car.)

6) Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off, about one minute.

7) Step 6 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off.
Buckle then unbuckle 9 times ending in the unbuckled state. You must complete this step within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns off.

9) As validation, the airbag light will turn on for 3 seconds.

10) Within 10 seconds of this light turning on, buckle and unbuckle one more time.

This will disable the BeltMinder feature and as confirmation the airbag light will flash four times per second for 3 seconds.

If this doesn’t work, go back and do each step precisely as indicated, it does work!
