Default penalty befitting crime?

I just came across this site from Austin, TX. It compares the penalties
cyclist suffer for, say, riding on the sidewalk or bicycling w/o a
helmet, versus penalties levied against motorists who run red lights
and kill cyclists. Sadly familiar stuff to NYC cyclists.

I'm sure these are all worst case scenarios provided to make a point,
but it's still insane and poignant:

Some kid killed a cyclist in the Denver area while text messaging on his
phone.

He could get put away for a year. Here's hoping.
