Sure, but in most cases negligence doesn't equal criminality. Usually an intention is required. Driving is an exception, but intent is still an issue for sentencing.
I think the struggle for a lot of people is that we all can recall a traffic violation we have made that fortunately didn't cause an accident, and we can therefore empathize to some degree with the driver.
