摘要：	Driver education and licensing standards are no different than any other performance standard. They provide a criterion for evaluating existing systems and serve as a guide for developing new ones. The more important objective for novice driver education and licensing standards is their desired effect on safety. However, most existing programs have minimal impacts on safety while encouraging licensure at younger ages, typically 16 years of age. Licensure at this earlier age is associated with a risk of crash involvement about three times greater than the risk of licensure at age 18. Although there are compelling reasons for allowing licensure at age 16, it is entirely appropriate that safety not be reduced as a result. The intent then should be to establish standards for novice driver education and licensing that produce novice drivers who are as safe as possible given their age and experience. A reasonable objective for these standards would be a five to ten percent improvement in safety for drivers 16 to 17 years of age. This range of effectiveness is typical for traffic safety countermeasures and should be achievable.
