I'm looking at the Road ID's and I want to get the shoe one..b/c really I need the one that is just with me all the time.
It says you can get regular or "interactive."
Does anyone have interactive? What are the benefits do you think? I read what they were but I'm just trying to figure out exactly what people think they are.
I don't have any real medical issues...so to me I feel like a true benefit would be..something like...if I disappeared a First Responder would know more about me and then..you know get their asses right out to the abandoned fields and start scanning for me..and looking through people's homes for me...right away. Is this what Interactive does?

As I understand it, regular is info on the tag, right there as needed. Interactive is info you call in for. Benefits are 1) ability to change stuff on file without needing new tag and 2) privacy as nobody can read your name and info off if your road id. Disadvantages are that when you're lying there unconscious after the car flattens you, the first people on the scene can't scream your name to get a response and they cant call your dh until they get the info from road it. Which they probably won't do until after the crisis is averted.

I talked to my dad (doctor) and mom (nurse) and they suggested the regular one. It doesn't have my full name or DOB on it, but it does mention my allergies (none), blood type, etc.

Stop scaring me about these accidents!! I really only wanted to get it in case I got snatched. I was envisioning it helping the cops find me...not the cops identify me after a horrifying accident!!
I've never really been afraid of that before lol. You are talking to a person who has literally danced out in front of a car, pointed at the little white man and told the driver to fuck off and learn road manners.
I have the interactive shoe one. I like that I can change my info on it whenever I need to. It also does have my name on it. Actually I'm going to be getting a second one so I have one for mu cycling shoes and one for my running shoes.
