A series of papers is presented on traffic safety and driver licensing programs affecting young novice drivers. The first two papers were presented by state driver licence officials on their states' provisional driver licensing programs at regional and national motor vehicle administrator conferences. The first describes the California program and the other paper describes and presents the evaluation results of the Maryland program. The next two papers summarize the safety benefit of certain provisional licensing activities and describe the graduated approach to initial licensing.
