Dont leave home without ID

[bikerz]

not a license with you... an ID! you don't have to even have a license to ride a bike! just a form of ID... but i gather from the article that it needs to have a picture on it to be valid....that's why i carry my work id... govenment issued.... with a picture!

You're exactly right - it's just that the only official or semi-official photo ID I have is my DL. Probably a CostCo membership card wouldn't cut it, even though it has a photo!

lol! ya... neither would my sam's one... plus the picture is waaaaaaaaaaaaay small!

For all the walkers out there I think this includes you too.

I figure after reading this it pretty much means dont go anywhere without ID. Oh that really does make me feel like big brother is watching.

I just use a photocopy of my driver's license and my insurance card. I doubt you really need to originals in case of emergency. That way, you just leave it in there at all times.

That's a good idea Pedal Wench. I'd almost bet you're right that in case of an emergency as long as the photo is clear, that it would be good enough.

Lets hope so - imagine being arrested for a photo thats not clear enough.

I also carry my cell phone with me and have ICE numbers stored.

The phone could come in handy - you get to make one call from jail dont ya. Teee Heee

i do too.. but i don't think that would keep us from getting arrested

i guess what i got from the article is there is carrying id for emergencies (road ID and cell phone with ICE) and carrying ID suitable and legal for cops if you should happen to be stopped for whatever reason...

for the purpose of the article.. we are talking strictly the legal id aspect!

Caligirl,
In Wisconsin if you lose your license or need it replaced, they still use your old picture! They told me they will only take a new picture every ten years so they use the stored picture. How dumb is that? Mine is three years old and was taken right after I had my son - 50 pounds ago. I don't even look like the same person but they won't let me get a new picture taken. Good grief - buerocracy for you...
