As someone who is about to hit 35 I can categorically state that 40 is way way off.

I stuck in 40 though just for the sake of it and got:

Your Ubble age is 15 years (15 to 17 years)
Your five-year risk of dying is 0.2%

I'm off to play in traffic for a bit to mess with their statistics.

I used to tell myself the same thing. In reality though (for me) it's only four years. It seems like that can pass while I'm taking a dump these days

Your Ubble age is 15 years (15 to 17 years)
Your five-year risk of dying is 0.2%

I'm off to play in traffic for a bit to mess with their statistics.
I did the same and got:

Your Ubble age is 29 years (23 to 33 years)
Your five-year risk of dying is 0.4%

Clearly, it's not very good....but then my doc did say my veins aren't made of bacon, so perhaps I do have a few more years left in the tank.

I'd not say that wasn't very good. A 0.4% chance of death in the next five years is probably consistent with your risk of a fatal accident in any given five year period (perhaps even lower).

I thought my 35/0.7% was OK, given the chance that I'll probably be in a bit better nick at 40 than I am now anyway, even though I do have high blood pressure.

Given that I've never learned to drive or possessed a vehicle, I reckon the car ownership question is a poor way to measure wealth and affluence when the test could just ask a straightforward question about income instead.
I didn't see a question about cars.

It was one of the first ones when I did it. Asked how many cars you have access to.

15 years below my real ago with a 1% chance of dying in the next 5 years. The only question I have is if I have the body of a 27 year old, why do I feel such a wreck!

It's probably your failing eyesight.
