Do you ever do any actions that you'd consider high risk and low reward?

Could be anything from texting while driving to checking a website at work.

No I like to minimise risk in day-to-day life to the extent I will stand on the far side of the pavement if possible and stand on the side of the road so I'm walking opposite traffic. Perhaps the riskiest things I do sometimes is not look both ways whilst crossing the road which almost made me get hit by a car aaaaaages ago. So I save like 2 seconds of my life every time.

So you walk as far away from cars as possible but potentially run infront of them ;ll

Yeah if it doesn't take time out. I suppose my impatience takes priority over safety.

I don't really walk but I find myself impatient at traffic lights so tend to walk if I know the road (most here are like 4 junctions so it's not just 1 straight road) so I typically know what happens when one light changes so can time my move
