People suffer on our roads due to DUI every year. Traditional criminal sentencing efforts (fines, jail time, etc) aren’t enough to curb DUI rates. Impact panels are a way to break down the anger and denial of offenders by enabling them to see how others are impacted by DUI. We also have youth experimenting with alcohol, some still in elementary school. These are our future drivers. Influence attitude and you can influence behavior regarding DUI/underage drinking and save lives. HOW can a panel benefit me? There are lots of little known facts about DUI and underage drinking. For example, impairment can start with your first drink (both attention and peripheral vision begin to decrease). So yes, you can be arrested and convicted after ONE DRINK. And no, IDIPIC is not a prohibitionist organization. So come to a panel and be enlightened, entertained and empowered! Open and free to all unless court-ordered. Children must be 12 or older.
