Of course your headlights would work. Going to speed of light won't prevent your headlights from turning on. :p

People you were headed toward could see you coming, but you'd get not advantage to seeing in front of you better.

Nobody would see your tail lights. The first rays of light would be standing still in the same spot.

So I was out drinking the other night, drank too much, and stumbled onto my porch. I accidentally put my car key in my door lock. I turned it and my house started up. So I drove it around for awhile. Then I parked it in the middle of the street and yelled for all the cars to get the hell off my lawn.

Head lights won't work. At that speed, centrifugal force would prevent you from reaching for the light switch.

Only during acceleration...once at light speed it would be no different than reaching forward while flying on an airplane.

Funny, this question is posed on a gazillion different sites on the net, and invariably these duds have ZERO sense of humor when their default answer is...
"Well, no vehicle can travel at 186,000 MPH so the question is moot".

Like I said, no sense of humor or whimsy.

Lol it's funny you say that. When you first posted this thread I did a quick google to see what kind of answers were floating around on the interwebs. I found some answers that literally gave me a headache reading and trying to understand all the physics lingo and such. A simple mind like mine wasn't made to attempt to understand and process some of those answers. I felt like my head was going to explode trying to comprehend some of that crap. Clearly some people out there are deadly serious when it comes to their physics and theories....:D

The speed of light is actually 186,000 miles per SECOND. Perhaps something could go 186000 miles per hour.
