      Yeah so in the civilized world we prefer to carry our health card and a piece of ID anyway, but if you live in the States the first one doesn’t exist and… Well… The second one doesn’t really exist either…

      But you know, a bank card takes way less space than a cellphone in your pockets, just saying.

        “Health card”? Do you mean like, organ donor card?

          Your phone that’s locked? Super practical for first responders! Especially if you get hit by a car and your phone is broken!

          Also, I don’t know of a single place where a picture of an ID is considered a valid piece of ID. If I got caught driving with just a picture of my driver’s license the police would ask me to call someone to pick up my car for me or have it towed and I would get a ticket for driving without a license.

            Tell me you don’t know how the medical ID/emergency contacts feature works without telling me you don’t know how it works.

              How well does that work if your phone gets broken in an accident?

            It’s not a picture of an ID. It’s accessible even with the phone is locked. Also, some states allow digital ID now.

                  If that happens your cellphone as well as you would be burnt.

                  Try again.
