There have been 116 shuttle missions, and two disasters, so every 60 times you leave home in the shuttle, everybody aboard is killed. Your car is quite a lot safer than that.
In terms of person-miles, it might be a different story. I don't know where to find out the miles the shuttle travels.

statistically, riding in the shuttle is much much much safer. that is misleading, imo, because alot less people ride in the shuttle than ride around in cars; so, the chances of crashing a car is much higher than crashing in the shuttle. you just hear about it more when the shuttle has a problem.

Just riding in the shuttle isn't bad at all... It's the takeoffs and landings that get you!

The shuttle has back up systems for the back up systems, and very little other traffic in the way.
