Theory of relativity says that when an object is on a speed of light you will shrink from back and front?

Like a pancake right. when we see a car passing at top speed we only see a flash like a rectangle object has passed. is that the same? So relativity of object at a speed of light is no different than that?|||"for the observer in relative movement, the length of the object is measured by subtracting the simultaneously measured distances of both ends of the object". See:

But also read:

Time slows also and in theory may even go backwards if the speed is exceeded.|||The closer one approaches light speed, the shorter the length in the direction of travel. The reason for seeing a rectangular shape is it's very low speed, even at 200 mph. The same object traveling faster than 66% light speed will appear bulbous.
