© 2013 National Safety Council 2 New teen drivers are high risk! Injury from motor vehicle crashes is the #1 cause of death among teens in the U.S. New teen drivers age are involved in about three times as many crashes as drivers aged 20 and older.

© 2013 National Safety Council 3 What is GDL? GDL allows new teen drivers to build experience in safer conditions. Gradually introduces teens to riskier driving environments over time. Has three stages of driver licenses. Includes limits on driving – young passengers, night driving, cell phones.

© 2013 National Safety Council 4 GDL Graduated Driver Licensing or GDL programs help to prevent injuries and deaths among teen drivers in motor vehicle crashes.

© 2013 National Safety Council 5 Research shows Studies show GDL systems reduced the crash risk of youngest drivers by about 20 – 40%. In general, crash reductions were greater in states with stronger GDL systems, as rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) scale.

© 2013 National Safety Council 6 Parents and Caregivers GDL laws are enforced primarily by parents. Parents provide supervised driving practice time with teens as they learn to drive. Parents are primary instructors and guardians of safety.

© 2013 National Safety Council 7 Parents and Caregivers Most parents set limits during the first months their teens are driving alone. Do a parent-teen driving agreement together.

© 2013 National Safety Council 8 How can you help your teen? Studies conclude risky driving, traffic violations, and crashes are lower among teens whose parents set limits. Additional Resources – – – Support for this project was provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, under contract number M52649.
