If it overheats at speed, but cools down when you slow down, the problem is likely a head gasket. Combustion gasses are leaking into the cooling system, adding bubbles (which take the place of coolant) and extra heat. Slowing down means the engine is spinning slower, and less combustion gas gets into the cooling system.

Possibly thermostat is slow in opening.

Why does my car cools down at high speed so much that when slow down the rpm drops almost dead and not moving the temperature gauge goes back to normal?
Check/replace the thermostat.
Why won't car start after the car overheats?
Because the engine is too hot to continue cycling correctly without the pistons "sticking" against the side of the cylinders, causing them to slow down or even stop moving in extreme cases. buy some antifreeze
When car overheats why does it go down when you turn on the heat?
takes the heat away from engine low coolant??
