>The demand in the EU and UK Cars for existing models which do not have speed limit restrictions will be healthy.

Outside of the real enthusiasts I think most people won't care.

I read the proposal. It argues for making the accelerator "heavier" when over the speed limit. For safety (and political) reasons the driver will have full control over the throttle at all times.

They will care if they live in the 20mph zone.

I would be happy if no one could speed under my windows. Difference between 50 kmh and 30 kmh is equivalent to 50% noise reduction (~ -5 dB). And tyre noise becomes dominant just a little over 30 kmh (20 mph).

Traffic calming zones are generally highly popular with residents. Most people are smart enough to know not to shit where they eat.
