TL;DR
The analyses suggest that the Iowa GDL program is effective in reducing the crash rates of 16- and 17-year-old drivers but the effects do not sustain for 18-year old drivers.
Abstract
The results suggest that the program appears to be working, however further analysis is needed to determine what factors are preventing lasting effects for these teenage drivers.

It was found that crash rates drop most dramatically during the first 6 months of driving, and a graduated driver licensing system is identified as an effective method for ensuring that this development takes place in a more forgiving environment.

Evidence that GDL regulations reduced traffic fatalities among 15-17-year-olds by at least 5.6% is presented and the life-saving benefits of these regulations were plausibly related to their restrictiveness.

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.

Taken as a whole, and including the preliminary findings from California, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, these reports demonstrate the early effectiveness of GDL in reducing the crash risk of teen drivers.

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.

In an attempt to define the basic rationale for graduated licensing, relevant research evidence that describes the conditions under which risk is known to be increased for young drivers was reviewed.
Journal of Safety ResearchThe evolution and effectiveness of graduated licensing
119 Citations2003H M Simpson
The extent to which graduated licensing has produced reductions in collisions is examined, and questions that still remain unanswered about graduated licensing are outlined, which suggest that future efforts to promote graduated licensing must emphasize adherence to the fundamental risk reduction and multistage principles on which the concept is based.

Stronger GDL programs are more effective than weaker programs in reducing teenage motor vehicle fatalities and the effects of limitations on the number of passengers appear to have had only minimal effects in reducing fatalities among young drivers themselves.

While graduated driver licensing has proven a generally effective means of reducing the crash risk of novice drivers, controlled research is needed to assess the benefits of its individual components.

Overall the results indicate that the new licensing system in California is accepted favorably by teenagers and their parents and has substantially increased the types of behaviors that collectively should lead to crash and injury reductions.

Though the observed crash savings associated with the restrictions were of modest size, this is the first study to evidence a direct positive impact of the passenger restriction component of GDL programs.

Even after adjusting for more general population-wide changes among drivers 25 years and older that might have contributed to changes in 16-year-old crash risk, reductions remained impressive (19% for all crashes in 2001).
