Abstract

Based on the magnitude of the young driver problem, the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), in 1993, recommended that all states pass laws: establishing lower BAC levels for youth and administrative licence revocation for low BAC alcohol-related youth traffic violations; establishing a provisional license system in conjunction with nighttime driving restrictions, more vigorous enforcement of minimum purchase age laws, and decreasing alcohol availability to youth; and conducting carefully targeted multi-media community information and education campaigns and programs directed at youth. Since the recommendations were made, many states have taken the recommended action. This paper discusses the proposals and the research that led to them and the improvements that have resulted. (A)
