Getting nine points and now being scared to exceed the speed limit
probably makes someone a slower driver. But how does it make them a
"better" driver?

They don't speed anymore and conform to the speeds that others stick
to. It's amazing that I have to explain this, it really is.

I repeat, how does that make them a better driver.

The reason you keep repeating yourself is because you don't understand the
difference between legality and safety.
