If you need medical info that does not fit on the RoadID the "interactive" feature is nice but at an additional $9.99 per year. Otherwise I'd don't see any advantage of the regular RoadIDs over a regular GI type dog tag which can be found for under $3 including chain and rubber silencer. It makes the $16 - $25 price of the RoadID seem kind of unreasonable IMO.
It is a good idea to wear some ID though and the RoadID serves the purpose well, just at a premium price.
BTW: If you really wanted too you could link to a document with your medical info (on your personal web site or maybe a google doc) on the $3 dog tag.
