How does graduated driver licensing expand the learning process?

From NHTSA, for About.com

Question: How does graduated driver licensing expand the learning process?
Answer: Graduated driver licensing lengthens the learning process. The longer the period of time that elapses between issuance of the first permit to the full, unrestricted license, the more maturity and experience the novice driver will accumulate and the better his or her driving performance will be. The learning experience for driving cannot be rushed. As with any complex task, it takes time to assimilate the skills and information needed to perform the job adequately.
