The agency was formed by congress, and they suggested that adoption of graduated driver licensing system will gradually lessen the traffic fatalities such as automobile accident and motorcycle accident that causes death for teenagers in US.
GDL laws have been on the drivers book since 1998, Teenage applying for California license must obey certain rules and guidelines in order to receive a provisional drivers license and finally a full driver's license. Based from the agency’s estimation, at least a hundred lives can be saced every year.

*Supervised driving during learner's stage is 30 hours
*16 1/2 minumum intermediate licensing
