Doppler shift applies to radio waves as well.

The most widely known example of this is the "Red Shift" that occurs in a 
star's spectra dependent on how fast it is moving away from earth (light 
waves are very high frequency radio waves). Doppler shift is also commonly 
encountered on the amateur radio "oscar" satellites.

None-the-less, I think doppler shift, at least at a speed a car would travel, 
has little to do with this thread. It is association time that is the issue. 
I have war driven at 80mph+ on the highway and still gotten many hits.
