Well, I always wear a road id, carry a wallet with a copy of my drivers license, insurance, ec., my bike wears my old road id and I carry a cell phone with my husband listed as the first voice dial, and as my ICE (in case of emergency) number. Unfortunately, the paramedics, police etc here around Houston don't seem to have figured this out. The last accident back in end of January, was a head hit, I was unconscious, have no member of the accident, the ambulance, the first ER where they sewed up my arm and did a ct scan and then decided to send me to the neuro center downtown. Apparently I came to as they were loading me into the second ambulance and managed to focus enough to give them my husbands' name and the company he works for before I passed out again. No memory of the 40 minute trip downtown, or subsequent er room until I came to and found Phil at my side, having been there for several hours, met with the drs. and he informed me that they were waiting to see if the bleed had stopeed so they could decide whether or not they had to operate. I was fairly clear in the periods I was awaked and focused after that, it all goes to show that even with road id, you need informed others who know to look for it . Short of tattoing a comment to that effect on my forehead, I'm not sure what else to do short of always riding with others who know the routine which is not always an option in my case.
