What did they add?
They added three new kingdoms. Last year they added "The African Kingdoms" and this year it's "Rise of the Rajas". They don't update the graphics or anything, just keep adding new maps and kingdoms. I wish they'd make and AOE3 DLC or go ahead with AOE4.

Failed to see crosswalk lights and almost hit a pedestrian due to sleep deprivation and fatigue. I feel so stupid about it all. :( I've made mistakes backing up before, but not driving forward thinking the girl would let me past before she crossed.

Sending hugs we all make mistakes!


Please don't drive again so tried it really does change how we drive!

I never drive like Reece if I am anything below 85%

Your driving can not only impact yourself but others around you and change lives! Cars are machines that can kill!

Sorry @Toro I don't believe their is any excuse and life doesn't get in the way! If you need to get into work either walk, call a cab, grab a bus or get someone else too take it in! The potential of taking someone life is no never any excuse!

I have a battery powered E-bike. :) It was the best thing I ever bought. Goes up to 20mph and saves a killing on petrol if I'm just popping into town or to the village shop.

Not to mention, it gives me that alternative if I'm tired or if I'm wobbling back from the pub.

OK, that does it. I'm definitely not waiting until New Years to quit pop. My mood has been plummeting, my weight increasing, and last night I drank so much pop that I couldn't fall asleep until 3:00-4:00 AM.

I hope this doesn't sound selfish but I would welcome any prayers to help me kick my pop habit for good. My New Years resolutions are to avoid pop and start exercising more. My eating habits border on an eating disorder and I know I cannot do this alone.

Time for rehab.

Well, you may have the transportation infrastructure to make all that possible. There is potential in taking life every day by driving a car.....even by well rested individuals and about a billion other choices people can make EVERY day. Even down to cooking food.

People die, even in ideal conditions.... its a fact of life.

I never in ANY way stated that killing someone is justified because someone is tired.... simply that this world is VERY rarely ever ideal and even when it is... mistakes happen and people die.

To think otherwise is a fairytale.

News flash, no one lives forever.

If someone says they can't handle it fine.
If someone says they can handle it are wrong, they must deal with consequences of their actions.

Its called accountability..... Im not going to beat someone down over a mistake they made that they realize they messed up. If you want to see that as me justifying someone running someone over then that is your choice.

I lived my 20s and most of my 30s driving on VERY little sleep and never once killed anyone.

I sure hope you never use your cell phone or look at your radio, kids or anything else that may distract you for even a second. EVER cause that is distracted driving and thats just as bad as tired driving.

Actually lack of sleep behind the wheel is what cause majority of accidents!

No one is saying that you don't die or live forever but being responsible for someone else death is something all together.

And the fact that you clearly just being selfish! Just because you were lucky doesn't mean other people are!

Actually I would NEVER look at my cellphone EVER. I don't change my radio as it's on the same station all the time!

I focus on what I am doing and that is driving and making sure me, my kids and people round about me are safe and also be aware of what is going on round about me!

You are in charge of a motor vehicle that can cause damage and serious damage, take it responsible or don't drive at all!

Accident do happen but when you go into a motor while several tried is NEVER ever OK!

While I agree on both sides, please cease making assumptions as to what the other is talking about and just simply ask what they are implying or saying. Assumptions will only make things worse.

I'll put it this way, and I know not everyone will agree. If I feel I am at less than 85% I will call in sick, get an uber, call a cab, etc to avoid driving. I feel like we all take risks but that's too big a risk to take on someone else's life. While I know 9 times out of 10 nothing will happen, I know if it did happen because of something I could have prevented by making a hard judgment call and choosing to inconvenience myself instead, I could not live with the guilt. And I agree distracted driving is just as bad.

I respect your choice. IMO it is up to an individual to know themselves and their limits. IF they over step their limits, there ARE consequences.

Maybe IM the crazy one here, but Im more concerned about the person behind the wheel thats eating, doing their makeup, messing with the radio, texting or drunk..... more than I am concerned if they got their full 8 hours of sleep last night.

Mistakes are part of life, even while well rested.

(General statement not at you specificly) All I was saying is simply know yourself. If you over shoot your limits.. be thankful no one got hurt.. learn from the mistake and move on. There is no reason to make the man feel worse.

It would be great if we could put things on the back burner until we were 100% but thats not always how life is.
