I do NOT remember any political "explosion" at all. Just apathy.
Tell British drivers they must stick to a 50kph speed limit and there's liable to be a lot of political fallout, if not actual damage, concerning road crash statistics.
Cripes. In Australia it's the LAW that you must stick to a speed limit. If you go over whatever the posted limit is, you risk the cops checking your speed and sending you a polite but expensive greeting card.
Doesn't matter what the limit is. They get antsy if you go over it.
I think he's referring to the fact that British drivers might have problems with limits measured in kph instead of mph.
