Abstract

Graduated driver licensing (GDL) is credited with a large reduction in motor vehicle crashes involving teenaged drivers. Additional factors in reduction include reduced numbers of teenagers choosing to obtain their drivers licenses, auto safety device improvement, zero tolerance policies for use of alcohol by adolescents while driving, and increased seatbelt use by drivers and passengers. The author discusses the possibility of implementing an expanded GDL program requiring expansion of positive partnerships developed among licensing agencies, the insurance industry, traffic safety, medicine, the scientific community, policymakers, law enforcement, and public health.
