it may punish more people, but it may also punish them less harshly than they should.
To me, if you kill someone because of "momentary inattention" or by "being distracted by satellite navigation equipment", then you should be treated as if you were driving dangerously and imprisoned, not given community service. Maybe if there were tougher sentences then drivers would start to pay more attention to what they are doing?
