ELi5 : Do overtaking vehicles appear to be travelling faster or slower than if I was stationary?

225 views

If I’m in a car travelling at 60mph and am over-taken by a car travelling at 75 mph, do they appear to travel at the same relative speed as when I am stationary and and a car passes me at 15 mph?

Or is this different because we are both moving?

Thanks for any answers.
