You cannot drive faster than the speed of light.
But no matter how fast you drive, you will always measure the light from your headlamps to travel away from you at the speed of light.
Strangely enough however, an observer in front of your car would measure the light from your headlamps to also be travelling at the speed of light still.
This is a result of the unintuitive fact that light is "invariant".

What an odd sort of question.
Your headlights stay on the front of the car, just above the bumper, where they've always been.
Where did you -think- they'd go?

ozo is right, but I see this is a "What if" question. The headlights would stay put and the light would trail behind you.

You should consider light as a wave to get an idea; however the velocity of this wave is considered to be specifically constant for every medium, irrespectively to its source.

Light will travel backwards! Yes , It will travel backwards and no light can be seen on the road(if that road ever existed!).
