		<description>I noticed that there has been a big launch to recommend to motorcyclists that they carry a special CRASH ID card (attached to the inside of their helmet) to aid quicker identification of victims and details of next of kin etc should they be involved in a motoring/road accident .  Surely such a card should be made available to cyclists also Is it possible to supply this type of card for cyclists also?
 
Having been knocked from my bike by motorist and badly injured, I sustained a broken arm and was concussed and incoherent when the paramedics arrived at the scene.  Being alone I would have found this type of ID invaluable for the medics who attended me as I had no ID on me at the time of the accident. It would also have prevented my next of kin becoming unduly distressed when I failed to return from my &#039;short&#039; cycle ride but d was being unbeknowingly transported to A&amp;E by the ambulance crew.  Needless to say, I now endeavour to carry some form of ID with me but if the cards were made available to both cyclists and motorcyclists alike, the first responders/paramedics would know exactly where to locate the information they required for ID/medical condition alerts etc and possibly save vital minutes by not having to search through saddlebags etc trying to locate it.</description>
