Well theoretically you wouldnt be able to travel at the speed of light. At the speed of light yoru mass would become infinite and time would virtually stop for you. But at the speed of light the light would still be infront of you. Think of it this way if you are in a race and the runner directly infront of you is traveling at the same velocity as you you would neither fall behind nor would you catch up. So the light would be in front of you.

Speed of light is constant but time is not.
In the paradigm of our normal thinking the light beam would just hang out there in front of us and not progress. But because the speed of light is constant time would have to stop so that it is still travelling at x miles per hour.

You would get to see where you are going.
Speed of light is independent of the speed of the observer.

sounds like a foul throttle place sensor or mass airflow sensor. Throttle place Sensor - indicators Idle surging awful Mileage Bucking and jerking of the motor vehicle unexpected stalling of the motor vehicle engine Hesitation whilst attempting to enhance up unexpected surge in motor vehicle's speed whilst utilising on the line Mass Airflow Sensor cleansing & testing loss of power Bucking/Jerking Spark Knock/Detonation Hesitation/Surge on Acceleration

If you were driving at the speed of light there would still be someone on your tailgate.

I suspect that no light would be forthcoming, because you are already traveling at the speed of light.
