You're making a general argument that we should impose injuries to people in order to incentivize them to not produce a negative externality. Not a transfer from them to someone else (like the government) in order to align their incentives, but literally a dead-weight loss, as if the government smashed your windshield in every 10k miles you drove in order to incentivize you to drive less.
Actually, it would be more like the government randomly picked a thousand motorist on the road each day and executed them in order to disincentivize driving. Literally half a million people per year die of smog in India.
