Keeping Teen Drivers Safe

摘要

According to [Jean Shope], GDL has been shown to reduce teen crashes 20 to 40 percent. However, she noted, the quality of GDL programs varies by state. In 2009, using a standardized GDL rating system, 34 states were categorized as "good," while nine were rated "fair" (including Michigan), and seven were rated "marginal." To maximize teen driver safety, Shope said, a comprehensive, coordinated GDL approach is needed.
