Vehicular homicide has a trivial punishment in some states, in this case, Kansas. In addition to the societal problems, this causes car insurance rates to rise.
In this case, the defendant ran a red light and killed someone. Unless this reckless driver is taken off the road permanently, by a permanent revocation of his license, he has just raised the danger level for everyone, and insurance rates will go up accordingly. The many have to pay for the actions of a few.
The solution, just from a car insurance level, is that committing certain crimes means a permanent loss of license, across the country. That would prevent a bad driver in Florida from getting a license in Georgia.
