Effects of the California graduated driver-licensing program

Article Abstract:

California implemented a graduated driver licensing system (GDLS) on July 1,1998, in an effort to ameliorate the problem of high teenage driver crash rates. Data on injury crashes of 16 and 17-year old drivers from a pre-GDLS year were compared with data from two post-GDLS years. Fatal or severe injury crash rates were significantly lower during each of two post-GDLS years.
