Description
Graduated licensing systems (GLS) have been introduced across Australia with evidence showing success in reducing the crash risk of young novice drivers. In 2020, Tasmania enhanced their GLS to be more in line with best practices. To assess the effectiveness of these changes, a seven-year evaluation commenced in 2020. This included online surveys disseminated at baseline (B) in 2020 and followed up (F) in 2023 to young people of eligible licensing age (n = 510 [B], 264 [F]) and parents of young people of eligible licensing age (n = 120 [B], 179 [F]). Survey questions focused on
accessibility to licensing, perceptions of the licensing changes including measures of agreeance, adequacy, and safety. Changes to the learner and provisional licence were generally perceived more favourably at follow-up by young people and parents, including the increase to 80 hours from 50 hours of supervised driving practice and greater restrictions on peer passengers.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
