Abstract

In terms of driver record alone, uncontrolled for mileage differences, a California study has found no evidence to support a raise in the minimum licensing age in that state from 16 to 18. When such things as experience and exposure were considered, however, there was some evidence that younger drivers are more predisposed to accidents than drivers in their older teens.
