Road

are quite common all over the world, costing many lives every year. This
happens mostly due to
careless driving, overspeeding, or using mobile phones while

mishaps can be decreased by implementing both the above strategies in a sequence. In this
essay, I will elaborate on both the above-mentioned views and will present my opinion about this
issue.
Firstly
, the road
authorities in many countries take the irresponsible road
behaviour of the motorists as a serious offence and take strict measures
against the violators. For instance
, the "Road

Next,
for more serious law-breakers, a number of black points on the driver's or the car's license are issued, causing the cancellation of their license in due course of time, and for major violations, the vehicle is confiscated and impounded. Therefore
, practising such
harsh measures
has resulted in a very low number of road

To conclude

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.
