GAO report on Graduated Driver Licensing released

Last week the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report on state Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) systems across the country.

The report confirms that GDL systems are associated with improved teen driver safety, and calls for additional research to help states move toward the best possible GDL systems.  The report also notes the slow pace of state action in improving existing GDL systems.
