Introduction of graduated licensing in British Columbia (BC) occurred on August 1, 1998. The Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) implementation spanned three stages, with full implementation of the original project model completed on November 27, 2000. Although BC’s GLP includes passenger vehicle drivers and motorcycle riders, this evaluation does not distinguish between the two, as motorcycle riders make up less than 1% of all GLP licence holders. The primary purpose of this report is to provide an interim assessment of the impact of GLP and the ICBC-approved driver education course on the crash and violation rates of new drivers. Within the report, the results of three studies are presented. (Author/publisher) For the complete report, see http://icbc.com/driver-licensing/Getting-licensed/glp-report.pdf
