Title:	Teen Graduated Driver Licensing in Wyoming
Publication Date:	Apr 2013
Type:	Issue Brief

Abstract

Nationally, teens are a high-risk driver group. Crashes are consistently the leading cause of death for this age group, accounting for more than one-third of deaths annually. Many states have adopted graduated driver licensing (GDL) for teens as one intervention to improve teen driver safety. The GDL creates a staged approach for teen licensing by postponing full licensure until older ages, establishing parameters to limit driver risk exposure, and promoting supervised driving experience.
