I should think question has been done to death by now. But if, for some reason, you are unable to use the search function on AB try this link;

you will be done for speeding.


As skids says, done to death... check here and take your choice:

no-body knows the answer to that question.

if you assume slightly (very slightly, 0.000001%) less speed than the speed of light), and for those that cannot be bothered to seach or click the links above, you'll simply see your headlights switch on. simple.

though of course there are two 'extras' to this question.
1) you cannot actually travel at the speed of light, so this question is void
2) light appears the same in all "frames of reference", i.e. wherever you are sat. even in your car going very fast.
Sorry shefwed but you won,t be done for speeding, no one could catch you, even a camera which flashes twice, by the time it flashes the second time you would be long gone! Even if you were doing only 300mph the second flash would not get you.
