Kentucky's current GDL program, which applies to drivers up to age 18, was enacted in 1996. The program includes a six-month instruction permit for drivers under age 18 (minimum age 16), a restriction on driving between midnight and 6am and a requirement for adult-supervised driving for permit drivers. In addition, there is a six-point limit on traffic violations with a penalty of license suspension for drivers under age 18, a requirement for a four-hour driving safety education class (or driver education course) and a 0.02 ml/dl limit on blood alcohol concentration (continues up to age 21). The objectives of this program evaluation were: (a) to examine teen driver motor vehicle crashes, crash-related injuries, and crash-related costs before and after the implementation of the GDL program; (b) to examine the implementation of the program at the local level; and (c) to recommend actions to enhance the program's effectiveness in addressing the teen crash problem.
