In the unfortunate situation of your mobile running out of battery or credit you may be forced to use a pay phone booth, if you cant access the contacts on your phone will you be able to remember the essential numbers?

Steps
1 - First take your card and cut it into a rough rectangle which is slightly bigger than the Altoids tin
2 - Place the tin on the card and using a pencil lightly trace round the base of the tin
3 - Then using scissors or a craft knife cut along the outline and remove any excess card
4 - You may need to trim the edges of your card to make it fit into the tin lid
5 - Once your card fits the lid you can use glue to stick it down, super glue or a glue gun work well.
6 - Now the card is in place open your contacts list and write down the most important numbers which you would call in an emergency. (not 911 / 999 because if you cant remember that you shouldn't be on a bike at all.....)

Have a look at the picture for an example (I have blacked out the numbers on computer)
I have included my home phone number, both parents mobiles and my brothers (absolute last-resort)

If find that is none of your buisness (sorry if that sounded scarcastic).
I was just wondering why instead of 911, we have 1, or 2, or 3, ect.
Jul 1, 2011. 4:18 PMmg0930mg says:
It's just easier to remember, and England didn't want 911. Australia wanted 000 they're easier then 911...

I was wondering because, to me at lest, it seems like a rather simple concept..

Correct me if i'm wrong, but 1 is is one of the easiest (and lonliest) phone numbers there are, and the 500 miliseconds spent dialing could very well save you life, though it's not likely.
finnaly, i ment mean in the perenthisies in my last comment.
Jul 1, 2011. 5:10 PMmg0930mg says:
Also easy to misdial.
Jul 1, 2011. 5:28 PMking kolton9 says:
As is 911 ( I'm not trying to be rude).
Jul 1, 2011. 6:12 PMmg0930mg says:
911 is in between being too long to dial, and fast enough to do even when hurt.
Nov 9, 2011. 8:42 AMpro2xy says:
Its so, because they are easy enough to remember, while at the same time, being 3 digits and that too on the opposite corners on a phone keypad (911), its not very likely a number that could be dialed accidently.
Moreover, were you people actually trying to fight over it? Lol.. :P
