"the UNDOUBTEDLY CORRECT answer:

Yes

no matter what speed you are travelling at, the speed of light is constant relative to your motion.

ie the light still travels away from you at the speed of light, even though you are travelling at the speed of light.

... that's what relativity is all about"

Thats wrong, like Einstein tells us, the speed of light is 300000 km per second.
Thatīs a fixed speed.
So if you are travelling with lightspeed, it will remain dark in front of you.
