According to general relativity, speed is relative, so for example if you are running at 20 km/h and a car passes you at 30 km/h, the runner is actually moving at 50 km/h relative to the car.
Now imagine that 2 spaceships are traveling both at 99% the speed of light, and they pass each other in a linear fashion. Could it be argued that from 1 spaceships perspective, you are traveling at 198% the speed of light relative to the other spaceship, according to special relativity, yet violating the constant speed of light?.
