In physics, motion is always relative to a chosen reference frame, meaning that whether an object is moving or stationary depends on the observer's perspective; an object moving at constant velocity is in an inertial reference frame where it appears stationary while everything else moves around it, which is physically correct.

Who’s Really Speeding? The Crazy Truth About Frames of Reference.Added:
If you get a speeding ticket from the cops, then you can get out of the situation. And you have two options.
Option number one is you show them this a uno reverse card. But showing it alone won't be enough. The first thing you should tell the cops is, "No, no, no.
It's you who are speeding up, and now you have to pay me the speeding ticket."
The cops will say, "Well, that's a stupid argument. You're the only one moving." And then you tell the cops, "Didn't you focus in physics? You can never say how fast I really went. It always depends on the reference frame.
And from my perspective, you are moving, dear cops. And physically speaking, you're actually right. When you move with constant velocity, you're in an inertial system. For you, it's like you're standing still, and everything around you is moving. It's physically correct. So, really the only argument that the cops have is that they tell you, "Well, you're not the reference frame." And in that case you might need to pay the ticket.
Anyway, to our drink chair or comment section.
