Focusing on the controversial role of speed cameras in road safety, this book situates the discussion within the framework of 'risk society' as defined by Beck. It explores how drivers experience risk in their daily lives, arguing that risk cannot be detached from its social context. By examining the multifaceted nature of risk, the work highlights the complexities surrounding the debate on speed cameras, suggesting that these devices are emblematic of broader societal concerns about control and safety in a risk-laden world.
