A note about Blood Type – the field for blood type was omitted from the emergency Motorcycle Medical ID card because it is no longer important.  Blood type is now easily, quickly and routinely obtained in the emergency room. You won’t even be asked because blood typing in the emergency room is more accurate since people often make mistakes (see What’s My Type? by John A. Vaughn, MD, Student Health Services, The Ohio State University http://shc.osu.edu/blog/whats-my-type).

You can also purchase self-adhesive laminating sheets. Place between two laminating sheets and then cut slightly larger than the Motorcycle Medical ID card so that the laminating sheets contact each other around all four edges of the card.

You can purchase self-adhesive laminating sheets at a store like Staples or on the Internet:

Make sure you protect yourself with uninsured/underinsured coverage on your motorcycle insurance policy which will pay you when you’re injured in a motorcycle accident by someone who doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance. We recommend uninsured/underinsured limits of $250,000, $300,000, $500,000, or more. To see how much you need, use this uninsured/underinsured coverage calculator.
