Graduated Licensing Four (4) Key Objectives to Graduated Licensing are:
1. Expand the learning process by providing new drivers with lots of varied and supervised practice to gain experience and maturity before driving alone.
2. Minimize crash risk exposure by requiring that new drivers gain critical experience in lower-risk conditions (daytime driving, without peers, etc.) before venturing out in high-risk conditions (night-time driving, with peers, etc.)
3. Improve driving skills by encouraging new drivers to practice, practice, and practice some more and to gradually introduce new privileges when earned.
4. Motivate for safety by acknowledging safe driving behaviors and reducing driving privileges for reckless or unsafe behaviors.
