The graduated driving licence
Young novice motorists, when compared with experienced motorists, have an extremely large chance of being involved in a road crash. This is only to a limited extent caused by a lack of the basic skills of vehicle control and application of traffic rules. Improving the basic driving course is no solution to this problem. However, a substantial road safety effect can be expected from a graduated driving licence system, i.e. a longer learning period in various phases.
