Our girls will grow up with the knowledge of safe driving & the horrible things that can happen when you aren't practicing safe driving skills. I am very excited that Project Yellow Light is going national!

]]> Comment on An Unintended Consequence of Graduated Driver Licensing Laws by Gary Knepler http://fromreidsdad.org/blog/2011/10/01/an-unintended-consequence-of-graduated-driver-licensing-laws/comment-page-1/#comment-7978 Gary Knepler Mon, 17 Oct 2011 02:37:53 +0000 http://fromreidsdad.org/blog/?p=647#comment-7978 Three recent studies have shown that fewer teens are licensing prior to age 18. Teen injury and fatality crash statistics have been significantly reduced only to significantly spike at age 18. The results of each study concluded that the GDL has delayed licensure and has produced more untrained and uneducated drivers than ever before since there are little if any driver education pre-requisites and no restrictions for novice drivers aged 18 and over. NHTSA has proposed a National Novice Standards for Driver Education consisting of 45 hours of professional classroom and 40 hours of professional road instruction while Connecticut continues to mandate only a professional 8 hour course in Safe Driving Practices along with parent training. Parent training is not held accountable to any standards which defacto voids any crediblilty to quality driver education.
