This appears to be a liquid fueled rocket, most likely using hypergolic fuels. On one hand, hypergolics are generally stable, but they are incredibly nasty to handle or be exposed to. I'm surprised that they didn't go with a solid fuel rocket instead, as they tend to be able to sit for years and can launch at a moments notice.

There is a private service here in Nevada that will stand in line for you at the DMV. -
Thankfully (or thankfully, depending on your POV), there wouldn't be a nuclear detonation in a scenario like this. Best case scenario: The warhead falls off the missile and lands intact and essentially inert. Worst case scenario: the conventional explosives that trigger the nuclear detonation go off, scattering the the plutonium over a wide area.

When I was in 4th-6th grade (6th grade was elementary in my school district growing up) my parents let me ride my bicycle to school. It was about 1.5 miles, and it was way out in the country, so the entire distance had to be done on the actual road, as there were no sidewalks. Never had to deal with traffic per se, but cars would be traveling around 50 mph, expect when you got within a few hundred feet of the school. Junior high and high school were 7 and 6 miles away respectively, which is neither walkable or bike-ridable. I either took the bus or got a ride from my dad. Luckily I got my license in 10th grade and was able to drive to school after that.
