For me personally this has made it a LOT more dangerous. I can no longer accelerate out of a tight spot so end up getting boxed in a lot feeling very vulnerable. Or I go to overtake a slow car doing 45 and he wakes up and speeds up leaving me stuck on the outside lane with a mad skip lorry behind me who is oblivious to the average cameras. I can't speed up and can't slow down to slot back in behind the "slow car" as traffic had backed up behind it and they are all now doing the same speed as me. This morning I was in inside lane and approached an onramp, normally I'd move out into middle lane but two massive double deck lorries were there (no doubt with calibrated speedometers so could push the limit) so I had to slow down to allow cars onto the A40 feeling very vulnerable as trucks were throwing up lots of spay seemed too close for comfort. Normally I'd just hit the gas before the junction and move out or actually I'd not be in that situation as I'd be in the outside lane keeping clear of traffic and able to safety manage my road space. Already seen one bike knocked off in the first week.
