Laminate a card with your personal details on plus any allergies or illnesses.

If you're in a messed up way we'll be too busy to look straight away but the Police might rummage through or once you're at hospital we might look.

Phones break as do those bracelet things they snap off. A bit of laminated card is fairly robust and you can do loads in one go so have a few.

Friend of mine was out cycling & had a stroke, fell off couldn't work out why & couldn't get back on his bike, someone gave him a lift but thought he was right weird & dropped him off fairly sharpish, managed to get back to his car & drive himself to hospital 😯 where the only method of identifying him was for the police to find out who his car was registered to

personally i don't worry about id very much, the scenario is fairly likely & unless you have medical issues then medics are gonna treat you same as anyone else with or without id ing you first

And just to reinforce the message:

I tend to carry bank card and the plastic part of my driving licence, as well as a phone - if I can't be identified from that lot, I think it's unlikely any other form of ID would help...

Used to carry my wife's business card, then I crashed and gave it to the people who helped me - I really should put another in my wallet.....

Yeah, I can't see the problem. I'm sure I'd turn up sooner or later.
