Graduated driver licensing provisions: an analysis of state policies and what works.

Conclusions: Consistent with other GDL research, states with stronger GDL policies had more favorable teen crash and mortality outcomes than states with weaker ones. Analysis showed that the policies in strong states shared several common themes: more required practice hours, ban on all teen passengers, and night driving restrictions for 12+ months. Implications for state policy makers are provided. PMID: 24471357 [PubMed - in process]
