How we know graduated licensing works

The quick and easy path to getting a driver's licence is disappearing fast. Since 1994, eight Canadian provinces, one territory and 47 American states have introduced some form of graduated licensing. Most of these programs haven't been in place long enough to determine their effect. But where studies have been done, the results are encouraging.

Significant reductions in new driver collision rates have been reported for the graduated licensing programs in Nova Scotia (19%), B.C. (16%) and Ontario (31%).
