ELI5: If I'm moving away from you at 50 KPH and you're moving away from me in the opposite direction at 50 KPH then after 1 hour we will be 100 kilometers away from each other even though the speed limit is 75 and neither of us broke it.
That's an extreme reduction but gets the general idea across.
