I'm a little confused on this. If you're travelling at, say, 10% of the speed of light then light is travelling at 3x10^8 ms^(-1) relative to you. If you're moving at 80% of the speed of light and light is also travelling at 3x10^8 ms^(-1). For the second case, wouldnt light have to accelerate and move at a greater velocity in order to maintain the 3x10^8 ms^(-1) speed...? Then that means the actual speed of light relative to a stationary observer would be greater than 3x10^8 ms^(-1) . I might have confused myself even more here...
