This study examined the attitudes of teenagers towards the New Zealand graduated driver licensing system (GDLS), and the extent to which it affected them.
Teenagers, who are members of a longitudinal study of a birth cohort, were interviewed at 15 years of age when the GDLS was first introduced and before they had begun licensure, and again at 18 years of age after they had experience with this licensing system.
At both ages the majority (over 70%) agreed with the driving restrictions imposed by this system. After experience with the restrictions, however, significantly more reported being affected a lot by them, than had expected to be at age 15. This was especially true of the restrictions on the carrying of passengers and the night time curfew (10 pm - 5 am). However, few reported that they were affected by the alcohol restriction. Sixty eight per cent of those with a graduated licence reported breaking at least one of the conditions, most frequently carrying passengers. Very few were penalised by the police for this.
Generally these young drivers were positively disposed towards the driving restrictions, but noncompliance was common. A full evaluation of all aspects of this licensing system is recommended.
本研究调查了青少年对新西兰分级驾照许可制度（GDLS）的态度，以及该制度对他们的影响程度。
对一个出生队列进行纵向研究的青少年，在15岁首次引入GDLS且尚未开始获得驾照时接受访谈，在18岁有了该驾照许可制度的体验后再次接受访谈。
在两个年龄段，大多数人（超过70%）都认同该制度实施的驾驶限制。然而，在体验了这些限制之后，报告称受到很大影响的人比15岁时预期的要多得多。对搭载乘客和夜间宵禁（晚上10点至凌晨5点）的限制尤其如此。然而，很少有人报告称受到酒精限制的影响。拥有分级驾照的人中有68%报告至少违反了一项规定，最常见的是搭载乘客。很少有人因此受到警方处罚。
总体而言，这些年轻驾驶员对驾驶限制持积极态度，但违规情况很常见。建议对该驾照许可制度的所有方面进行全面评估。
