Maryland emergency contact info

[rugbysecondrow]

A new policy in Maryland for those interested.

Bike accidents occur every year and responders (Police and EMT) need to get in touch with our next of kin/emergency contacts. In the past we have suggested using Road ID (http://www.roadid.com/) and carrying a cell phone programmed with emergency contact info. Many of us also carry our driver’s license in our jersey or saddlebag as another form of ID.

Maryland MVA has instituted a new program where you can sign up and provide a list of up to three emergency contacts on-line that will be linked to your driver's license number, and if you are in an accident or another type of emergency the information will be available when the Police enter your driver's license information into their database.? Go to: http://www.mva.maryland.gov/ to register

Good idea, though they don't have that in Rho' dialin.

As an aside...
I just bought a set of dog tags with name, address, phone, and emergency numbers that I wear when I ride.

Hard to go wrong for $5 - $6.00 dollars. The whole William family has them.

very cool actually...

BTW- when putting an emergency number in your phone, I been told it's best to name the contact ICE meaning In Case of Emergency... not real sure how nationwide that is, but can't hurt I suppose...

I do wear a RoadID as well... with my blood type on it just in case...

U can get tags made in the petstore also. Little more money but faster i guess.

My riding wallet has a copy of my license, my insurance card, and a typed out list of family and doctor contacts, with list of meds. Otherwise...discard me like a spent banana peel.

Had mine engraved with my name then ICE# with 3 phone #s. 4 lines on a nice small metal pet tag on an engraving machine; $5 at Walmart. On the bike all the time so I don't forget it at home where it's useless.
