The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has developed a proposed provisional driver licensing system. The system is designed to ease novice drivers into the driving environment through more controlled exposure to progressively more difficult driving experiences prior to full licensure. Under this system, novice drivers would be required to demonstrate responsible driving behavior over a specified period of time. The Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles has implemented and evaluated a part of this provisional licensing system. The Maryland program showed a five percent reduction in crashes and a 10 percent reduction in traffic convictions for 16 and 17-year old drivers.
