Not really. The saying is "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". You probably misheard.

Chris Rea getting it wrong too doesn't make it right.

The misquote was intentional, I was trying to be funny about tax per mile enabled by eCall paying for roads, obviously I failed.

The only quote I can think of that is almost always true.

EU signs off on eCall emergency-phone-in-every-car plan

[doodab]

I do some work for a company that's trialing tracking devices. The idea is you get one fitted and it allows your insurance company to monitor how you drive in return for a lower premium. So the technology is coming via the private sector anyway.

That technology has been used on a commercial basis for over 10 years. The only difference is its got an awful lot cheaper...

EU signs off on eCall emergency-phone-in-every-car plan

I'm taking it that you didn't read the first paragraph, just in case I've highlighted a couple of salient facts for you:

The European Union's plan to insist every new car on the road by 2015 includes a mobile device that phones home after a crash is set to become reality, after the European Commission signed off draft legislation to enact the scheme. Assent from the European Parliament and Council of the European Union is now required, but little opposition is expected.

So its not signed off yet. There could be opposition, I mean if the Ukip are interested in keeping EU laws out of Britain surely they could turn up to vote against it?
