Suppose Relativity were wrong. We would see some really strange things.
Imagine a far away crossroad with a car coming towards you and a car crossing the other way, and suppose the two cars collide.
The light from the car coming towards you would be travelling faster towards you, at speed c + the speed of the car, but that from the other car would be travelling towards you at roughly c.
Result? You would see the car travelling towards you crash into nothing and get smashed, then a short while later you would see the crossing car arrive at the junction and crash.
I find that even weirder than Relativity.
