RoadID - Which one do you prefer?

[Bikingmomof3]

15 years ago when I started wearing a medic alert bracelet, police and emergency personnel were required to notice a bracelet, but not a necklace. This came from two cases with diabetics in one year, one in California and one in NM - in both cases, diabetics were thrown in drunk tanks and (at least one of them) died. The courts decided it wasn't the emergency personnel’s fault for not noticing necklaces.
Don't know if this is still the case, and don't know how it would apply to road ID, just a thought.

TsPoet,
I was told the basicaly the same thing by my doctor's office. Medical personnel are legally supposed to loook for wrist ID. My medical Alert bracelets are on my wrists and my outdoor one is bringht as it needs to be seen and no one can read it usless they are on top of me.

Wow thanks everyone for the replies!!

Those I am ordering are not medical alerts, just emergency contact info.

I had to order last night because I had that 15% off coupon to use before midnight, so I ended up getting Wrist IDs for my partner and his dad (who had a serious accident before and they traced his wife thanks to his cell phone... lucky the cell phone was closeby and working after the crash he had). I would have preferred the Shoe ID but it's not very convenient for the type of cycling shoes they both have, plus then you have to switch it to your running shoes when you're running. But I got a ShoeID for my mom who rides and walks and doesn't have cycling shoes, so I'm assuming she's likely to always have the same shoes on. I also renewed my own (a Fixx) and treated myself to a Daisy design. I might get a shoe one for myself someday for the times when I run. I don't dislike the fixx around my neck but the shoe thing seems so convenient and impossible to forget...

By the way, if you get IDs for other people (yes - they're great gifts that show you care) please make sure you talk to someone close to them to identify the exact info they would want on it, or get gift certificates instead. I preferred to seek out the info because I knew they would procrastinate at using the gift certificate, and I want them to be wearing ID NOW! I also called the relatives whose number are put there as emergency number so they know about it. It can save them from some disorienting moments...
