Prison and life altering fines are already in place for those. If you kill a person while DD you will be charged for that and face years/decades in prison.
The GP said DUI or texting alone would have to involve life sentences, regardless if anyone was hurt or killed.
The point is that punishments that aren't in proportion to the crime don't lead to a particularly good society to live in. A society that imposes a "life altering fine" for delaying traffic is not a society I'd like to live in, and I suspect many others would agree with me.
I think if you said you’ll throw activists that intentionally block traffic in prison for 1 year you’d get 70%+ approval for the position. People are sick of the lawlessness and the excuses for it and inaction. Times up.
