Default why is the wind velocity higher at a low pressure area then a high pressure area

I've had a small meteorology class this day and learned about
geostrophic flow etc. I do understand that the geostropic flow
(pressure gradient, coriolis force, centrifugal force and drag)at a
curved high pressure system should by higher then a low pressure
system.....this is not corresponding with my day-to-day observations;
can anyone shine a light in the dark for me
