Graduated Driver Licensing - Graduated Licensing and Insurance

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)

    ... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.
    Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
