Description

Teen drivers ages 16 to 20 have the highest fatality rate of any age group in the U.S. As a result, states have increasingly adopted laws to limit teen driving exposure, such as Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) systems, which consist of three stages: a learner's permit allowing driving only under supervision; intermediate licensure allowing unsupervised driving with restrictions; and full licensure. The Nat. Highway Traffic Safety Admin. (NHTSA) supports state teen driver safety programs. This report identifies: (1) key GDL system requirements and the extent to which state programs include these requirements; and (2) challenges states face to improve teen driver safety and how states and NHTSA have addressed the challenges.
