I've heard that the reason for the change at Hemel was that there were
too many large, reportable accidents going on (involving injury etc).
The result of the change was apparently to reduce this count
significantly as the traffic was moving more slowly. However, what it
also succeeded in doing was to increase substantially the count of
minor, damage-only, non-reportable accidents instead.

Could be being cynical, but having cycled around it (not driven it) I
can believe it.
