A New GDL Framework: Planning for the Future

In phase one of this study a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) framework was developed as outlined in, "A New GDL Framework: Evidence Base to Integrate Novice Driver Strategies." In phase two an international symposium was held to discuss implementation strategy and finalize top recommendations. This phase two document outlines the implementation strategy, provides results from an environmental scan, summarizes presentations from three jurisdictions asked to share lessons learned, and discusses each of the recommended GDL features in terms of rationale, current implementation in the U.S., and implementation issues. The GDL components recommended include: GDL for all novice drivers younger than 21; learner holding period of 12 months; more than 50 supervised hours of practice; log book requirement for supervised hours; night driving restriction at 9 or 10 pm; license plate identifiers for initial license holders; and phase 1 driver education.
