| In a related report on young people, substance
abuse, and driving, OAS data show that young drivers age 15
to 17 in states with the most restrictive driver licensing laws
had lower rates of heavy drinking than those in states with
the least restrictive laws.
States vary in the extent to which they restrict driving behavior
among young drivers. This report identifies the states categorized
from most restrictive to least restrictive according to the
four-category rating scheme developed by the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation.
