A sea of red in front of me,

And a sea of white behind,

Although I'm barely moving,

I'm as fast as the wind you'll find.

It's almost as bright as day outside,

But it is surely night.

But when I look up at the dark, dark sky,

There's not a star in sight.

What am I?

CAR

Explanation:

"A sea of red in front of me"

Refers to the red brake lights of the cars ahead, creating a "sea" of red lights on the road.

"A sea of white behind"

Describes the white headlights of vehicles behind, forming another "sea" of lights as you drive.

"Although I'm barely moving, I'm fast as the wind you'll find"

You may be stuck in traffic, barely moving, but when free, a car can travel as fast as the wind.

"It's almost bright as day outside, but it is surely night"

The car’s headlights illuminate the surroundings, making it seem brighter, even though it's nighttime.

"But when I look up at the dark, dark sky, There's not a star in sight"

This could indicate you're driving on a cloudy night, where the sky is overcast and the stars are hidden behind thick clouds, or it could suggest light pollution from a city preventing you from seeing the stars.
