Faster is safer? In what world?

I have real trouble understanding this concept of faster-is-safer on the highway.

I'll admit I usually drive a little over the speed limit on the interstate, but I don't feel safer doing it. The higher the speed, the faster I can get in trouble and the more damage that will be done in a crash.

This site is just one that makes the same point.

Am I just driving in the wrong universe?
