Had jaw surgery 14 days ago will driving over bumps etc do any damage?

No: In a car with good suspension and a relatively smooth ride it is unlikely to be so shaken as to stress the surgical site. In any case, pain would be a sign of such stress but it remains that unlikely to cause any adverse effects.
