The Victim Impact Panel (VIP) isn’t about punishing or humiliating a DUI offender. It is designed to open your eyes and reach your heart. As you listen to these testimonies, you will see how one night — one decision — can lead to lifelong consequences such as pain, loss, physical struggles, and deep emotional scars. The goal is not to frighten you, but to help you understand what’s truly at stake.

This session gives you an opportunity to reflect — not just to meet a legal requirement, but to shift your mindset, develop empathy, and take responsibility for your choices moving forward.

You still have the ability to change your path. You can learn from this experience, rebuild trust, regain control of your life, and demonstrate to yourself and others that you have grown from it.

Let this be a turning point. Use what you hear today as motivation to build a safer, more responsible future for yourself and for those around you.

A Victim Impact Panel allows DUI offenders a chance to understand what can happen when impaired driving leads to tragedy. The people you’ll hear from—survivors, grieving family members, and others affected by crashes—aren’t here to point fingers. They’re here to share what they’ve experienced so you can fully grasp the serious impact one moment behind the wheel…
