Step 1. A stationary charge produces only a static electric field and radiates nothing.

Step 2. A charge moving with constant velocity produces a steady current and hence a magnetic field, but this field does not vary with time, so it cannot regenerate a further field via Faraday's/Maxwell's laws -- no wave is produced. …
