Not driving and not having kids are two things you can do to exempt yourself from a world of possible legal issues.
Walking on the side of the street invites its own set of legal issues.
This one always gets me, walking home from the bar drunk (to avoid driving) can get you thrown in prison, or shot. At least in the US.
Honestly a cop would give you less hassle if you drove home drunk.
The odds of anyone getting shot walking down the street are infinitesimal. Your odds of getting flattened by a car however...
There's a video where a guy is just walking home from his shift and gets wellness checked by a passing trooper into being arrested.
