Assuming that a vehicle could travel at the speed of light simply for the sake of the question, wouldn't having the lighting system inside of a vehicle moving at the speed of light negate the hindrances much like a honey bee flying forwards in the TGV? A honey bee could never achieve speeds relative to the ground of 200 mph. But, put that same honey bee inside the TGV and it could achieve speeds of 214mph in relation to the ground. Thus, to beat this horse just a little more, if you were inside of a vehicle traveling at the speed of light and you flipped on your flashlight fowards, would not that beam of light be twice the speed of light relative to a fixed point?
