Are you joking? So you're never ever going to slow down or stop for any reason because you're afraid you might get run over by the person behind you? Thats quite absurd. I don't know why you would assume that but unless the moped rider is blind or drunk he is going to also slow down or swerve when he sees you slowing down. And if he doesn't getting rear ended by a moped is much more preferable, and survivable than run over by dump truck.
