Graduated driver licensing (GDL) is a method of licensing novice drivers commonly implemented in response to the over-involvement of young drivers in crashes. The literature on graduated driver licensing suggests that it is an effective method by which the crash rates of young, inexperienced drivers may be reduced. Positive preliminary results in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada show that allowing young drivers to obtain experience in low risk driving conditions and delaying full, unrestricted licensure leads to fewer crashes. Although there is a possibility that the main sources of these countries' crash reductions are coincidental reductions in exposure, it is nonetheless apparent that graduated driver licensing programs can save lives and reduce injuries suffered by young drivers and passengers in road trauma. Attitudinal surveys have also revealed widespread support for the restrictions on young drivers that are incorporated into the schemes.
