Foot Draggers

[N A Chess]

I have noticed more and more bikes pulling away and the rider leaving one leg dangling for what seems an eternity before lifting it up to rest the trailing foot up to the peg. Scooter riders seem to do it the most. Can someone explain why? Is it something taught on rider courses - and if so, why??  Do they really think dangling out a puny leg will somehow keep the bike upright if they lose control??
