Road I'D - Compare & Contrast

[LoriO]

I have the wrist ID because in an accident the wrist is one of the first places the Medics are going to look for a medical ID/etc. I have the interactive bracelet since I use my bracelet for more then bike riding. I also use it when I go horseback riding alone and have additional information on my interactive page with who can be contacted to take care of the horse and what barn we are from.

The good thing about the interactive is that it can be accessed not just by internet but also by phone. So unless you are in a cell phone dead area, emergency personnel can access that information from just about anywhere.

On the front of my bracelet I have my full name and then I have my drivers license number listed. I went with my license number because any police department in the country can run that number and get my name, date of birth and current address off of that. As a 911 dispatcher, I can tell you that the first thing an officer is going to look for is an ID and run it so I figured I would make it easy for them! On mine it looks like this

CT Driv Lic#12345678

Pretty much any police officer will recognize that for what it is.

I have the wrist ID elite as well, and very happy with the security it provides.

I'm an ankle wearer. Agree with earlier comments that shoe ID's and Dog Tags are at risk of separation from your body in bad incidents.

I'll add one more comfort consideration:

• I developed a persistent ring worm where I typically wore mine
• Shame on me for not washing it ( I never thought to)
• So now I alternate ankles, wash it regularly, and try to wrap it around my sock rather than directly on my skin

I'm really sorry for the loss of your friend
