TL;DR
Analysis of the first 2 full calendar years following Michigan's GDL program implementation indicates substantial crash reductions among 16-year-olds, and future research is necessary to determine if these reductions are maintained and if other jurisdictions achieve similar results.

JAMACarrying Passengers as a Risk Factor for Crashes Fatal to 16- and 17-Year-Old Drivers
531 Citations2000Li-Hui Chen
The data indicate that the risk of fatal injury for a 16- or 17-year-old driver increases with the number of passengers, which supports inclusion of restrictions on carrying passengers in graduated licensing systems for young drivers.

305 Citations1998Sean Doherty, Jean Andrey +1 more
The results indicate that the accident involvement rates of 16-19 year old drivers are higher than those of 20-24 and 25-59 year olds in all situations that were examined, but that they were disproportionately high on weekends, at nighttime and with passengers.
Accident Analysis & PreventionAn evaluation of the New Zealand Graduated Driver Licensing System

It is shown that the introduction of the GDLS was closely followed by substantial reductions in car crash injuries for all age groups, especially 15-19 year olds (23% reduction), and an analysis of licensure data suggests that the reduction in crashes may, in large part, be attributable to an overall reduction in exposure.

There was a 9% reduction in the fatal and injury crash involvement rate in Florida during 1997, the first full year of graduated licensing, compared with 1995 and reductions were not seen among Alabama teenagers nor among 18 year-olds in Florida.

Information is provided about the background and behavior of young adults who do not use seat belts, which could be helpful when designing strategies to promote seat-belt use in this age group.

47 Citations2000P F Waller, Michelle L Olk +1 more
Results from a survey of parents of young drivers who had completed the supervised driving requirement in Michigan suggest that the imposition of a requirement for extended supervised practice should not discourage legislators from including it in graduated licensing programs.

THE WHO AND WHEN OF ACCIDENT RISK: CAN DRIVER LICENSE PROGRAMS PROVIDE COUNTERMEASURES?

Possible ways are discussed in which driver license programs could monitor more closely the driving performance of those drivers belonging to high risk groups, but female drivers and elderly drivers showed the most marked elevations.
