Yesterday morning I stepped on a dead mouse outside my showroom. It was raining heavily. I saw that it's throat was slit, by maybe a bite. I immediately got scared that the bite might be from a rabid dog. I was wearing shoes at the time. I got back in the car and my shoes touched my steering and gearbox. I touched them as well and later ate food. Am I at risk for rabies or is it just an irrational fear?

Rabies is due to a virus which is transmitted to human being by the bite of infected wild animals like wolve, jackals, fox, wild bat, dog, cat, monkey etc. The virus is present in the saliva of infected animal. Don't worry. You are not at risk for rabies.
