Estimates show possible crash reduction as a result of allowing solo driving from 17 or 1712years of age (compared to the current 18-year age limit) under restrictions like night driving curfew, ban on taking young passengers, and ban on using a telephone while driving. A prerequisite for crash reduction is a high level of compliance with restrictions, and that those who start solo car driving at 17 or 1712years quit moped and MC riding. An additional requirement of at least 100 hours of accompanied driving before solo driving will add considerably to the favourable effect. Some of the assumptions are uncertain, and a trial period of graduated licensing, with subsequent evaluation, will provide a basis for better estimates.
