No, if you are moving 30 mph and another car is too, the radar would say the car is going 0 mph. depends on where you are... in some areas yes Thats the idea, radar guns are used to check a vehicles speed, if you mean can a radar gun be used from a moving vehicle then no, the gun must be stationary otherwise an inaccurate reading will result.
