The oil light could be faulty (highly unlikely), the chances are you are out of oil in the sump or it's extremely low. Top it up after ascertaining there's not a horrid leak (obviously a puddle of oil on the ground), when did you have the vehicle serviced last? You gotta investigate before you start that motor, pal!
This is a classic case of human nature in action - intellectually you know that all the answers are correct - you should NOT drive your car ...
but you still want to limp it to the shops to get some oil.
As jack has advised, a cab drop-off of some oil may be a bit pricey, but better than getting your car towed to a scrap yard!
