Well, when I drive the speed of light in my car...
I think the person in front of you would see that they're on, but they wouldn't illuminate anything.

I have 2 thoughts. 1) you leave a streak of light behind you and you are unable to see the lights.
2) you can see the light because the headlights are also travelling at the speed of light. It is like supersonic jets. The pilot can hear his voice and the voices of the passengers, because everyone is travelling at the same speed.

Physically that is not possible. However if one was traveling at speed of light and headlights were on you would run along each other

you'll be in darkness, u hv to understand relativity in this sense. u are travelling at the speed of light. as now, your speed is the same with the light from you headlight. we perceived light only when it is reflected back into our eye. as the light from the headlight wont be reflected back. (your speed is the same). so, no light is perceived. thus, u are in darkness

seeing as light travels at more then a million miles per hour, you would be a blur to everyone, turning on your headlights would do nothing for you, bc you are traveling just as fast as your light, there for it would have no time to light up anything in front of you

You can't reach the speed of light, so the question doesn't have an answer.
However, if you were traveling at say .99999 times the speed of light, the light would still propogate from your car at the speed of light according to relativity.

Nothing because a vehicle that travels at the speed of light has yet to be invented.

Light streams ahead as usual. The speed of light is invariant in every reference frame.

Ah the old physics joke... Depends if you believe Einstein. If you do you can't travel that fast. If not well headlights wouldn't help much would they?

LOL, I like your thinking, I'll let you know next time I am moving at the speed of light.
