I do 400 of those a year to and from work (52*5 day weeks minus holidays/lazy days etc.)
So (14/180m) * 400 = 0.003% chance of dying commuting in any year (Still higher than it should be)
Or a 99.997% chance of survival
Which sounds like the reverse of a Domestos ad. But their stats are possibly equally as floored as mine:
