Progression through graduated driver licensing programs: final report
Over the past few decades, all jurisdictions in the United States and Canada have implemented some version of a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program to address the elevated crash risk of young and novice drivers. GDL has proven popular not only because such a licensing system makes sense but in large part because research has demonstrated its safety benefit overall, as well as in terms of the benefits of specific conditions/restrictions. Far less is known about how teens progress through GDL and trends in licensing rates. National licensing data are often inaccurate in terms of counting the numbers of licensed teen drivers overall or at different stages of GDL (learner, intermediate and full license), primarily because of the lack of licensing data counts in most states. The purposes of this study are to examine, in detail, license patterns and progression through GDL in one Canadian province (Ontario) and one U.S. state (Oregon) with different GDL programs, making it possible to examine how different features (e.g., licensing at a younger or older age, a shorter or longer minimum learner permit period) influence license rates and progression through GDL.
