Michigan's graduated driver licensing program: evaluation of the first four years

Article Abstract:

The Four-year outcome of Michigan's graduated driver licensing (GDL) program is discussed using motor-vehicle crash data for 16-year-old drivers in 1996 (pre-GDL), and 1998-2001 (post-GDL). Reduction in crash risks among 16-year-olds from 1996 to 2001 was 29% for all, 44% for fatal, 38% each for nonfatal-injury and fatal-plus-nonfatal-injury, 32% for day, 31% for evening, 59% for night, 32% for single-vehicle, and 28% for multi-vehicle crashes.

Graduated driver licensing and safer driving

Article Abstract:

Few sources of safer driving are mentioned that include extended learning, early intervention, contingent advancement, and multistage instruction. Although these sources are yet to be evaluated, research indicates crash reduction is possible in situations where it does not increase exposure to risk.
