It's like that around here. I've seen more & more moped riders over the past year along with immigrants on x-mart bikes. I can only assume that most of the moped riders have lost the license due to a DUI/DWI because Maryland has very stringent laws regarding drunk driving & the judges in my county are particularly tough on DUI/DWI cases. The moped riders at least follow the flow of traffic where as 95% of the x-mart bikers I see are wrong way cyclist. I have a nice long hill on my way to work & occasionally get the chance to "race" a moped up, sometimes I actually win.
