Message From The Inventor


     As a police officer in Tennessee for over eleven years, I have worked or assisted in the investigation of hundreds of motor vehicle accidents. In the early part of 2002 I assisted a traffic officer who was investigating a two-car collision. There were a total of four people injured. Three juveniles and an adult. The adult was unconscious and seriously injured. Because his driver's license had an old address, it took hours to contact a family member or friend to advise them of the accident.
     Later that evening I was sitting at home and began to recall my own tragic events of September 23, 2000 when I was the victim of a hit and run driver riding my Harley in rural Kentucky. I was left for dead at the bottom of a thirty-foot rock embankment seriously injured with a totaled 2000 Roadking next to me. It took over an hour for help to arrive. When help arrived I went unconscious; this is when my problems worsened.
  1. The hospital had me listed as having no insurance. (I did have auto insurance and health insurance at the time of the accident)
  2. I received medication without the hospital knowing if I was allergic to it.
  3. No one could tell my wife to let her know that I'd been in an accident. She found out hours later when a friend knocked on the door of our home at 1 am and handed her what used to be a fiberglass saddlebag, which was stuffed with my personal belongings.
     All of these incidents could have been avoided if I had the "RIDER DOWN EMERGENCY ID CARD." This card will provide law enforcement and medical personnel with vital information in the event that you're not able to give it to them. This card could also be offered as the "EMERGENCY CARD". The emergency card is ideal for anyone. Kids below the licensing age don't have any form of identification available for them. If they do have a license they still could face the problems I did.
     There are many ways that the card could be purchased. Through internet web sites and local dealerships around the world. A vender booth could be set up at major rallies where the information for the card could be obtained and received by mail when completed.
     There are about 500,000 bikers that attend Daytona Bike Week annually. Daytona is only one of many very large biker events held around the world. In 1999 Daytona had one of the largest motorcycle accident related rallies ever. The "RIDER DOWN EMERGENCY ID CARD" would have been an invaluable tool for law enforcement and medical personnel who were aiding an injured biker. Many of the bikers that attend these events come from all over the United States and around the world. Without the "RIDER DOWN EMERGENCY ID CARD" it would be almost impossible to contact a family member or friend of an injured biker from out of town.
     Motor cycle manufacturers are in the business of making money and providing their loyal customers with a reliable form of transportation. The biker family is the largest group of people that gather year round for fun, fellowship and the support of those in need. The "RIDER DOWN EMERGENCY ID CARD" is the perfect way for these companies to tell their loyal family that they love and care about them.
