I'm intrigued to know how they plan to put these gps/speed limiting devices on cars like my computerless Westfield. How will they implement this on bikes, could be lethal on 2 wheels.

It will struggle to get through as a mandatory device. Human rights will stamp invasion of privacy all over it.
The way it will come in is similar to the trial in Ireland. You will receive an insurance discount if your vehicle is fitted with such device.

What seems to be missed is the planned reduction of almost all roads (save Motorways and Trunk roads) to a 40 mph limit. This will start to come in between any time soon and 2010.
The charging of traffic to use main trunk roads and motorways always had a huge flaw. That people would just use A and B roads and not the roads with a high charge rate, so the 40mph limit is being brought in solely to push people to paying.
