What would happen if a train were traveling at the speed of light and on top of it was a moving car?

According to Stephen Hawkings (you can watch his study on time travel to answer this question) the speed of light is like the "speed limit" for the universe. Nothing exceeds the speed of light. So if you have a train that's travelling at the speed of light (which is impossible, it can travel close but not exactly at the speed of light), and a car is moving on top of it, isn't that technically breaking the "speed limit" or exceeding the speed of light? That's not possible, instead physics would "autocorrect" that and instead of having the car move fast enough to break the "speed limit", time would be slowed down, meaning the car would be slowed down, just enough so that it doesn't break the speed limit. Simply it means, if you were inside that car, time would be passing really slowly. While a week passes for the person in the car, one hundred years would pass in regular time.
