A DUI/DWI Victim Impact Panel is a small group of 2-4 persons who speak briefly about a vehicle crash caused by an impaired or intoxicated driver in which they were injured or in which a friend or family member was injured or killed. Persons who have been charged with DUI/DWI criminal offenses are often required to attend a Victim Impact Panel to better understand and remember the devastating consequences of driving while impaired or intoxicated.

Victims who speak at Victim Impact Panels do not blame or judge the people listening and only seek to share their own tragic stories in a way that may help others understand the lasting effects of impaired driving—while giving the speakers the opportunity to heal and find some small amount of meaning in their tragedies.

Victim Impact Panels are available both live and online and are sponsored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).

In Oregon, DUI/DWI Victim Impact Panels are part of the rehabilitative and educational measures used in the legal system to address the issue of impaired driving. These panels are typically composed of individuals who have been directly affected by drunk or impaired driving incidents, sharing their experiences with DUI/DWI offenders as a form of awareness and prevention. The goal is to humanize the consequences of impaired driving, helping offenders grasp the real-life impact of their actions. Attendance at a Victim Impact Panel may be mandated by the court as a condition of a DUI/DWI offender's sentence or probation. The panels are designed to be non-judgmental and focus on the emotional and physical aftermath of DUI/DWI incidents rather than assigning blame. In Oregon, these panels are often facilitated by organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and they can be attended in person or online, providing accessibility to those required to participate.
