Graduated driver licensing (GDL) has been shown to have the greatest effect on reducing automobile injuries and fatalities for young drivers in the United States. GDL programs typically involve three stages of licensing: a learner's permit stage, an intermediate stage, and a full license stage. The intermediate stage includes restrictions such as nighttime driving limits, passenger limits, and cell phone use restrictions, which have been shown to reduce crash rates among young drivers. Mandatory driver's education and parental monitoring are also important components of GDL programs, but the overall effectiveness of GDL is attributed to the combination of all three stages. Increasing the minimum driving age has not been shown to be as effective as GDL in reducing crash rates among young drivers.
