Sorry, but I find it hard to believe that a road with a 99% chance of killing a cyclist in a year of commuting wouldn't also be a bloodbath for motorists. I mean, the only way it could possibly be so dangerous is if several motorists having engine trouble are killed on it every month and such a road would almost certainly be shut down immediately for safety modifications and would unquestionably disallow slow moving vehicles like bicycles.
