Many states in the US have the death penalty and literal life in prison sentences and it hasn't stopped rape or murder compared to states with lesser punishments. It's not hard to imagine it would have similar results here.
Personally I would like to see significantly stiffer punishments for people who are habitual drunk drivers. Those people are the bigger problem and are easier to catch. It's impossible to stop the one time drunk driver who blows through an intersection. But the person that has done it multiple times will continue to do it. My uncle worked with a person who had killed someone while driving drunk. He continued to drink and drive till his day in court, hell he was even drunk in court. That type of person needs to be punished harshly. He did go to jail and was fired from his job BTW.
