Everyday motion' is not only usually but even always relative to whatever standpoint is taken for observing (perhaps even measuring) the 'everyday motion' in question. In other words, a particular motion that occurs in an everyday sense will (and must) be relative to the position from which it is being observed, whether one has in view the motion of a car moving along a highway, a person walking on a beach, or a bird flying through the air.
