This study was funded by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the AAA Foundation is a not-for-profit, publicly supported charitable research and education organization that is dedicated to saving lives by preventing traffic crashes and reducing injuries when crashes occur. Foundation funding is provided by voluntary contributions from AAA/CAA and their affiliated motor clubs, individual members, AAA-affiliated insurance companies, and other organizations and sources.

The extended learning experience required by GDL programs is a positive experience for many families. However, finding a method for helping parents achieve maximum benefits during this process will be challenging. The results also suggest that current requirements in the learner phase of most state GDL systems (six months; 30-50 hours) may be inadequate to ensure that teenagers obtain a sufficient amount of experience to begin driving safely on their own.
