TL;DR
A recent legislative effort in New Hampshire to institute a graduated licensing system for teenagers (TA) led to an analysis of state data on fatal crashes involving TA drivers, providing an overview of these events and suggesting possible prevention strategies.
Abstract
Two at-risk groups exist. The first is inexperienced sober TA drivers on single-lane roads during conventional hours. As experience increases, the second group appears: TA who have been drinking and are out late at night. Prevention strategies must take into account these two groups.

This research examined the effect of this action on overall licensure of 16-17 year old drivers in communities that dropped the course to those in similar sized communities that retained the driver education course using local funds.

State crash data indicated that Delaware and Connecticut showed the highest rates of 16-year-old driver involvements in nonfatal and fatal injury crashes and Pennsylvania and upstate New York, which have night driving curfews for 16 year-olds, showed lower crash rates overall and much higher crash rates during their respective curfew hours.

It is estimated that 65 to 85 per cent reductions in 16 year-old-driver fatal crash involvement can be expected if the licensing age is increased from 16 to 17 without increasing fatal crash rates at older ages.

Of 149 large cities surveyed, 72 were found to have nighttime curfew ordinances applying to teenagers of various ages, and curfews were associated with a 23% reduction in fatal injury for 13- to 17-year-olds for the 9 P.M.-5:59 A.M. time period.

Detroit, Cleveland, and Columbus, which have curfew ordinances, were compared to Cincinnati, which does not have such an ordinance, to conclude that city curfew ordinances can reduce motor vehicle injury to teenagers during the particularly hazardous late night hours.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has taken a strong stand for safety in their policy statement entitled "The Teenage Driver," and among their recommendations, they call for graduated licensure for teenage drivers, a position the authors believe shows promise.
