Therefore

To begin

As a result

of the safety of themselves and others.

In addition

, the lane should be checked regularly to make sure there are not any uneven surfaces there which become an obstruction for people to drive safely.
For instance
Linking Words
, if a roadway requires repair
then

the construction should take place regularly to control the accidents.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, there must be restrictions on using cell phones
while

driving which distracts the driver from driving within the exact speed restriction. To illustrate, when a phone rings a person gets distracted to think for a

Therefore

, phones should be kept in the back seat for safe driving.
To conclude

, it is the responsibility of each individual to make their and other's life safe by driving within the maximum speed limit.
Moreover

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
