Why Graduated Driver Licensing?
Driving is a sWill. Xeing a good driver taWes practiceO practiceO and more practice. For a new driverO a practice period allows for learning how to handle road conditionsO dis> tractionsO haZardous situations and maWing the split>second decisions that are part of Deing a safe driver. Rost individuals have Deen issued their first driver,s license at age AIO usually with> out having had much eTperi> ence with actual Dehind>the> wheel driving and[or without the Denefit of a driver,s educa> tion course. Even if the person held an instruction permit Defore licensingO Dehind>the> wheel driving eTperience has Deen minimal. Add this to the inherent risW>taWing Dehavior of this age groupO and you have an accident waiting to happen. NationallyO motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for young people Detween the ages of A5 and 34O causing one>third of all fatalities or AV] of all traffic fatalities. Teens are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as are all other drivers. Graduated Driver Licens> ing systems are designed to phase drivers into full driving privileges as they develop their driving sWills and demonstrate responsiDle driving Dehaviors. There are 3 phases to a GDL systemJ a learner,s permit period in which a driver must De super> vised^ an intermediate period after the applicant passes a driver test which limits unsuper> vised driving in high>risW situa> tions^ and a license with full driving privileges that is issued after the first two phases have Deen completed successfully. AdditionallyO some GDL licensing systems re@uire driv> ers to remain violation>free for a prescriDed period of time Defore they can move into the neTt phase of licensing. W y om in g , s Gr aduated Driver Licensing system incor> porates all three M3N phases of the model GDL systemJ Learner,s PermitO Intermediate PermitO and Full Driving Privi> leges.
