The $63 rate would probably be split out to include the costs of random repairs (equipment), inventory costs, costs of sending out guys to repair stuff when they could be doing something else, and stuff along those lines.

That's fine, but he's only liable for actual damages. It'd sure be nice if the next time someone sideswipes my car I could charge them drive time to the body shop, wait time at the body shop, "random repairs" (hey maybe my alternator wore out more because I had to drive it extra to the body shop. There's another $80!), etc etc in addition to the actual body repair, but I can't. If I can't, the government can't.
