My point was largely about calling the man who was responsible for the death a "winner." However, in response to your point, I don't know why someone accidentally hurting or killing me while on my bike being more severely punished than they are now would make cycling "more attractive"?
I also doubt that more severe punishments will prevent most of these accidents. Better training? Better infrastructure? Better planning? Better and safer vehicles? Yeah, probably.
I'm not saying the punishments should not be more severe. But it's not on the top of my "things I'd like to be better with cycling" list.
