As part of my sentence, I had to attend a MADD Victim Impact Panel (VIP). I wasn’t sure what to expect, and judging from their registration page that has a circa 1992 feel to it, I was worried that it would feel like a disorganized, bureaucratic waste of time. It took me awhile to figure out how to use this page. There is a “Continue” button at the bottom that leads to the registration.I left work early so that I could take public transportation to the panel. I still had just a restricted license that only allowed driving to/from work and an alcohol education program. (The wording seems to be pretty clear that driving to other programs like MADD VIP and AA meetings aren’t allowed with a restricted license, but I did a lot of asking around first.) I arrived at the Department of Health building at 5pm and there was already a line wrapped around the building of about 50 people. Check-in for the panel was starting at 5:30pm and the panel itself was starting at 7pm.

As I got in line, the woman in front of me turned around and asked, “This is for MADD, right?” I replied, “Yes, I’m pretty sure it is.” She said, laughing, “I just didn’t want to get in line and have it be something else.” I replied, also laughing, “Well, anything in LA that has to do with DUI is going to have a line.” As I said the word “DUI,” a few other people turned and looked right at me, almost to say, Shh, don’t say that word aloud. Check-in started early and went relatively quickly. For check-in, a photo ID and $35 money order or cashier’s check were required. They were also accepting cash despite the registration information that warned that they would not. The panel was being held in an auditorium that had about 300 seats, so there was plenty of room. It was a little after 5:30pm when I grabbed a seat in the sixth row from the stage.
