I don't think so. I mean, you don't need ID or a licence to ride a bike
and you don't need to have a licence anyway, and if you look your age
you don't even need an over 18 card, and it would be ridiculous to carry
your birth certificate around.

Could be.. I have no idea. All I know is that since I was little I've
always put it on my Allergies list. Maybe they gave the old cheese some
to pop me out and I didn't like it?

The Blood Bank will tell you your blood type for free...and they'll be pleased
to take your blood in return ;-)

A tad dire there, lad.

A ID will help the authorities contact your nearest & dearest.

Help people know whats happened to you. No flowers or visits from your
family & friends if they don't know if you're in hospital.

And of course, if you have a existing medical condition, help the
medical authorities assist you better.

Or heaven forbid, if events really go wrong when you are cycling with no
ID, you can be a John Doe and they'll simply dig a hole on the side of
the road .....

You know you can carry ID for emergency purposes and just not show it to
Cnst Plod when he asks for it.
