Graduated Driver’s License Guidelines: Saving Teen Lives Volume 108, Issue 8 This issue of the Wisconsin Medical Journal includes research that illustrates how implementing a graduated driver’s license policy can save lives of teens and others on the roads. Not only could 124 lives have been saved by the current policies in place, but the authors estimate how many more lives could be saved if a proposed policy was in place in all 6 Great Lakes States.
