If you were traveling at the speed of light, you would see the following:

- Look directly behind you and see exactly what you saw the instant you jumped to the speed of light. Everything would appear to be frozen in time.

- Look directly ahead of you and see things happening in fast forward. Light from events happening in front of you would come towards you at the speed of light, while you travel towards it at the speed of light. Things will appear to be moving in slow motion.

- Once you pass by said thing, look backwards and you'll see it frozen in time as it looked at the instant you went by it.

- Look to either side and see pure blackness except for instantaneous flashes of events occurring as you briefly intersect the light's path. You'd see a strobe effect.

Trippy.

Said differently, time for things behind you would appear to stop. Time for things in front of you would appear to speed up.
