Novice teen driving: GDL and beyond

Abstract: The Symposium on Novice Teen Driving: GDL and Beyond — Research Foundations for Policy and Practice, held in Tucson, AZ, on February 5–7, 2007, provided a detailed overview of graduated driver licensing (GDL) and other beginning driver issues in the United States. This paper summarizes the information presented at the Symposium and in its background papers. Impact on Industry: This information and summary should help all interested persons and organizations, including industry, in their efforts to improve GDL and teen driver programs in the United States, which in turn will further reduce traffic crashes and fatalities involving teenage drivers.
