Graduated Licensing and Insurance
The automobile insurance industry generally supports graduated licensing. However, some youth rights advocates have accused insurance companies of charging premiums to new and young drivers in GDL jurisdicitions that are not substantially less than premuims in non-GDL jurisdictions, even though graduated licensing supposedly reduces the risk of accidents.
This issue is generally restricted to jurisdictions with private auto insurance. Most state-run automobile insurance schemes do not discriminate on account of age or driving experience.

Famous quotes containing the words graduated and/or insurance:
“If you had made the acquiring of ignorance the study of your life, you could not have graduated with higher honor than you could to-day.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
