you can post your own emergency contacts through our website, or directly to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
If you are subsequently involved in an accident, officers will have immediate access to YOUR list of emergency contacts. They will scan your driver's license and gain immediate, but secure, access to their database and your information. Your decision to provide this information is voluntary.
All of our hard work is bearing fruit. This first program is becoming a reality through the help of State Representative Bill Galvano and, Florida Department of Highway Public Safety Legislative Affairs Director Steven Fielder. We expect that our petition drive will result in an actual legislative act this coming session. Our next goal to have our program included in planning for a national driver's license format.
