Let me translate that question for you:
If you turned on your headlights while driving at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
I don't know the answer, but now that I've made your question readable, mayble someone else will. Good luck with that.

I think if you're driving the speed of light, your headlights would work. That is, if your car didn't succumb to the forces of time and space and compeletly disintegrate. That being said, disregarding the actual effects of driving the speed of light, the headlights would work but you'd be going as fast as the light so you'd be ahead of the light before it could show you the road.

I think they would work, but what good would they do you? Your reaction time would be too slow to react to anything you might see ... if in fact you could even see it. You are travelling towards an object at the speed of light, it is reflecting back to you at the same speed, so you wouldn't see it until it was past you.

These movies where someone shoots a laser beam at a space ship and they see it coming and dodge it... wow.. what a bunch of bull.
People can't even dodge a bullet and it is only going 1 mile a second.. light is 186 000 times that fast. go figure..

Einstein tells us you can't travel the speed of light. As velocity increases mass increases and time slows down. At the speed of light, time (at least your perception of time) would stop, and mass would be infinite. Well, unless you can get thermo-coupler fixed so you can engage the hyperdrive.
OK that is pretty nerdy.

Yes. Even when one is traveling at the speed of light, light will still appear to be traveling at the speed of light. :D One of those quirks of the universe.

Before you worry about your headlights working, first think of how to attain that speed.... or at least a fraction of it!

if CD players use a beam of light to read the sound that is imprinted on to them then essentially isn't sound moving at the the speed of light?

I'm not sure, but the car would probably implode.
