You would be able to see where you were going if it was dark! Ask me a hard one:).

convinced! because the speed of light is relative to the position you're so although when you're going on the speed of light the gentle out of your head lights might want to shuttle remote from you on the speed of light back!!! you may imagine this signifies that the gentle from the authentic lights is travelling at 2 circumstances the speed of light yet this isn't the case! Time truly has slowed, which then signifies that even in spite of the reality that you're travelling on the speed of light, gentle can shuttle remote from on the speed of light!!!!! I someway get the impact you already know all of this from the way your question is worded, or it homework of a few form!!!!

If it were possible to travel the speed of light and you turned on your headlights, you wouldn't see anything. The addition of velocities doesn't work with light because the speed of light is constant. The light beam would be compressed toward the short end of the spectrum, it would not gain any additional velocity from the speed of the vehicle. That is why stars moving away from us shift toward the blue end of the spectrum and stars moving towards us shift to the red end of the spectrum.

according to me , if it is possible to drive at the speed equivalent to light ,then as soon as the head lights are switched on the light comes out at the same speed as that of the vehicle . so there will not be much change in the condition . as soon as the light falls the vehicle crosses it and hence it appears as if the lights were switched off

You get a car to go the speed of light without flying off a cliff and I'll tell you.

The light from the headlights is already traveling at the speed of light. So I say, a big nothing would happen.

Have you heard of the theory of Relativity?
The lights would light up and they would show you the way.
The light would leave the bulbs at the speed of light, even if you are travelling at the speed of light.
Example if you are on a train travelling at 50mph and you ride a bicycle from the rear of the train to the front at 5mph how fast are you travelling?
The answer is relative, you are travelling at 5mph relative to everything on the train and 55mph relative to everything outside the train.

You guys don't seem to understand the fundamental principles of the unified theory of light. If you were to travel at the speed of light (in a car) and turn on your (headlights) then you wouldn't see any change to your surroundings, unless there was another (car) ahead of you travelling at the same speed, then your (headlights) would shine upon (it) in the same manner as it would were you not travelling at the speed of light, i.e., on a road. What you have to understand is that everything is relative to YOUR own personal point of view and anything outside of that is open to question and doubt!!

Saying you survived this, you wouldnt be able to see anything.
Einstein used the question of 'what would happen if you held a mirror infront of your face when travelling at the speed of light?'
You would be invisible, but so would the mirror.

TOU'RE ALL WRONG! Especially these wanna be physicists! They keep on going on with their relativity this and relativity that, with a bit of Einstein and some law in between. If you want to get all "relative" then you'd understand that your mass would become infinite, according to the sciency bit, and you would probably most likely implode on yourself from your sudden increase of mass, possiibly causing a black whole sucking in all matter around you, but I really don't know I'm not a physicist. But if my theory is right then let's just hope them suicide bombers never get to do it!

Your car would fall apart before you turned the lights on unless you have a very special car.Seriously though it would be similar to jumping up and down on an airplane.Your headlights would already be travelling so ur headlights would have the advantage.
P.s that got my mind working overtime now on verge of mental breakdown.OOOh mother i told you not to send me to University!!!
