What do you mean by "remove people using public roadways"? If you mean, suspending their driver's license, then I agree with you. If you mean the same harsh penalties such as prison, or abolishment of private property rights as if you HAD killed someone then I disagree.
We live in a society where the penalties/punishments are supposed to be in line with the severity of the offense. Get caught driving drunk, and you get X penalties. Get caught driving drunk and happen to kill another road user and you get a much harsher penalty.
