Yeah pretty much everything that Lamborarri said is what I'd recommend as well. The biggest thing is to make sure your camera/phone is turned so that the photos come out horizontally (like most of the photos on this site). That would probably be the best basic thing to know with your equipment, and as you take more and more photos, your skills and photographer's eye will grow.
I started taking pics with a Nikon Coolpix, and it's not great for motion shots. However, as long as you're not driving, it's usually not that hard to take pics from inside a car, and I never had any issues taking pics of still cars. Just make sure you press down halfway on the shutter release (the button you use to take the actual picture) to focus the camera, then press down all the way.
