1. allow insurance carriers to manage the vehicle repair process through "direct repair shops". After all, the average Joe (or JoAnn) knows jack about car repairs. And there is no conspiracy among insurance carriers to screw the public by condoning crap repairs.
2. damages for bodily injury should be limited to pecuniary damages only. Medical expenses, "extra expenses" incurred as a result of the injury, and lost wages. No more "general" damages aka profit. You assume a risk by getting behind the wheel. Money doesn't make you heal faster for feel better. It would clear the backlog of personal injury suits and thin out the "herd" of personal injury attorneys.
