Hi duc

I guess there are a couple of ways you could reword that sentence. For example:

- Obeying the speed limit means saving energy, lives and money!

- If we obey the speed limit, we can save energy, lives, and money!


The words in green are parallel.
In the first sentence, the words in blue are also parallel.
