“…To illustrate, vehicle owners have been found to report lower compliance with graduated driver licensing conditions and restrictions (Brookland, Begg, Langley, & Ameratunga, 2014), greater mileage and more risky driving behaviours (Scott-Parker, Watson, King, & Hyde, 2011), including speeding and mobile phone use (Senserrick et al, 2007). Indeed, having exclusive access to a vehicle may actually facilitate meeting a variety of psychosocial needs, such as seeing friends easily and showing independence, which could not be achieved if they were reliant upon sharing the family vehicle.…”

“…Cross-sectional surveys often ask intermediate drivers whether they have ever violated a restriction or about the number of violations within a given time period (Brookland et al 2014; Goodwin and Foss 2004; Goodwin et al 2006; Harre et al 1996; Williams and McCartt 2014; Williams et al 2002). Estimates of non-compliance vary widely between studies and in various jurisdictions; for example, as noted by Masten et al (2014), estimated rates of self-reported violation (at least once as an intermediate driver) of a GDL passenger restriction ranged from 26% to 92%.…”

“…Limited sample sizes often preclude in-depth assessment of subgroup differences. Finally, wide (and sometimes subtle) variations in the way questions are asked can preclude comparison across studies; for example some surveys ask about driving over the specific period (e.g., 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.), while others don’t specify an endpoint (e.g., after 11 p.m.) (Brookland et al 2014; Williams and McCartt 2014). …”

Objective Current methods of estimating compliance with Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) restrictions among young drivers with intermediate driver’s licenses—which include surveys, direct observations, and naturalistic studies—cannot sufficiently answer many critical foundational questions: What is the extent of non-compliance among the population of young intermediate drivers? How does compliance change over the course of licensure? How does compliance differ by driver subgroup and in certain driving environments? This paper proposes an alternative and complementary approach to estimating population-level compliance with GDL nighttime and passenger restrictions via application of the quasi-induced exposure (QIE) method. Methods The paper summarizes the main limitations of previous methods employed to estimate compliance. It then introduces the proposed method of borrowing the fundamental assumption of the QIE method—that young intermediate drivers who are non-responsible in clean (i.e., one and only one responsible driver) multi-vehicle crashes are reasonably representative of young intermediate drivers on the road—to estimate population-based compliance. I describe formative work that has been done to ensure this method can be validly applied among young intermediate drivers and provide a practical application of this method: an estimate of compliance with New Jersey’s passenger restrictions among 8,006 non-responsible 17- to 20-year-old intermediate drivers involved in clean two-vehicle crashes from July 2010 through June 2012. Results Over the study period, an estimated 8.4% (95% CI: 7.8%, 9.0%) of intermediate drivers’ trips were not in compliance with NJ’s GDL passenger restriction. These findings were remarkably similar to previous estimates from more resource-intensive naturalistic studies (Goodwin et al., 2006; Klauer et al., 2011). Conclusion Studies can practically apply proposed methods to estimate population-level compliance with GDL passenger and night restrictions; examine how compliance varies by relevant driver, vehicle, and environmental factors; and evaluate the implementation of a GDL provision or other intervention aimed at increasing compliance with these restrictions. Important considerations and potential limitations and challenges are discussed.

“…Moreover, the proportion of young drivers in New Zealand who breach the conditions of their license is high. The New Zealand Driver's Study (NZDS, a prospective cohort study of 3992 newly licensed young drivers) found that almost two-thirds of participants had driven unsupervised at night, over 80% had driven unsupervised with passengers while on their provisional licence and 62% breached both the conditions (Brookland et al, 2014).…”
