I realize that this was almost answered in the topic "Focusing to Infinity" but not quite. If a person could drive a car at night at the speed of light and turned on the headlights, what would happen? Could they see ahead of themselves? What if they were traveling faster than the speed of light, would the results be different?
If they tried to take a picture would they get an image?
So many questions, so many possibilities, I'm so confused.
There is a book that may help answer your questions, written by "George Gamow" that was originally published as 'Mr Tompkins in Paperback' and has recently been re-published as 'The New World of Mr Tompkins'. I have just checked the bookstores and found, to my surprise, that the cost has increased almost at the speed of light, now being over $100.00.
I suggest that you try your local library.
Mr. Tompkins is a man who wanders into a university lecture hall while the theories of relativity are being taught. He drops off to sleep and this book relates his dreams in a world where the speed of light is 30 miles per hour.
