New York State’s teenage driving laws not tough enough, startling study reveals
By Big Voodoo Marketing For Lawyers
New York State has some of the toughest rules for drivers under 18 years old. Known as graduated driver licensing (GDL), these laws restrict when teens in New York can legally operate a car. New York’s GDL program also limits where teen drivers with a learner’s permit can legally drive in certain parts of the state.
New York’s laws might seem strict. But they aren’t tough enough, according to a recent national study. An estimated 29 lives could be saved every year in New York if the country adopted phased-in teen driving privileges. That’s the conclusion of a study done by the National Safety Council, which researched the issue for the Allstate Foundation. Nationwide, the study estimates 2,000 traffic fatalities each year could be prevented if states had tougher phased-in teen driving laws.
