road runners — l.yb

description. road running was just like any other high-paying job brought about by the new road management system. high risk, high reward. another position had been vacated in your station, you just hoped the newbie would last a little longer than the last one did. 

pairings. lee felix x gender-neutral reader

genre. dystopian!au, kind of workmates!au

warnings. graphic imagery, slight discussions on morality, animal death, multiple death by accidents, implied suicide (not of main characters), major character death

word count. 2.6k

notes. posting this after seeing this scene in the 5 star trailer haha kinda morbid thinking how i came up with this in driving school lmao hope everyone’s doing well! it’s been so long (。_。)

On the job, you were but an observer—an additional pair of eyes with the extra skill of executing actions that the cameras could not. There would come a time when the development of technology would give birth to advancements that’ll eventually take over most human labors. But that day was not today, nor do you imagine it to be any time soon. For now, you’re stationed on one of the many towers that lined the Gyeongbu Expressway, roving the highway for something interesting. Just like usual, there’s nothing.

Becoming a road runner had been every child’s dream at some point. Every head turned towards car windows on expressways and busy highways, watching out for the moment the black-suited figures zipped from one tower to another. You were no exception, so when the teachers asked what you wanted to be when you grew older you answered the same thing every year: I want to be a road runner.

It wouldn’t be until high school when you learned the grim reality behind the coolest job you’ve ever known. Road runners never existed until about half a century ago when the government decided on the full enforcement of all traffic laws to eliminate the ever-growing traffic problem. A decade-long transition was put into motion in the year 2068; road and highways were reconstructed, and at the end of the ten years, most of the country’s major networks functioned in the same way train railways had, complete with a centralized system to track all of its users.

Automatic transmission vehicles ATVs took on a new definition, now functioning on auto-pilot and programmed to sync with the central system. While some people resorted to purchasing new cars with the built in systems, the government couldn’t force everyone to make the switch. They could, however, launch the strict implementation of all road and traffic laws through the system.

And so they did. 

The decision was marred with controversy when the accidents began to happen. While most citizens brushed it off their shoulders as a good riddance for nuisances, others saw through and began thinking there was a more sinister reason to it. The government never explicitly stated that MTVs were banned from the streets, though driving them grew more and more risky. They were rogues to the system, undetectable. Highways have turned into railroad tracks, cars into bullet trains. ATVs were hot-wired pods meant to get you to your destination via the quickest route possible and on the road, there was no stopping them. 

Both traffic and pollution significantly lessened with the transition, but one problem spiked—road-related accidents. Pedestrians were ploughed by high-speed ATVs, MTVs crushed by collisions, and the death toll reached hundreds within months of its implementation. But the government did not waver, nor did it carry the blame for everything that had happened. They wiped their hands clean.

“The system has been programmed with rules that have long been implemented, pre-existing ones we were already meant to follow beforehand,” they said. The ignorance of the law excuses no one, and so the government played court and passed judgment.

Right wings argued that roads were meant for vehicles alone. Why were pedestrians prioritized all the time when there were designated times and places for them like sidewalks, crosswalk lights, their very own safe zones. Pedestrians and other street-users abused their privilege, compromising vehicle drivers and contributing into traffic congestion. Humans were smart but they were slaves to their own egos, susceptible to being easily put back into place when reminded of a higher authority.

Sanctions towards traffic law violators were dropped. No more fines and months in probation and arrests. If you weren’t registered into the system, you were still free to use the roads as you liked. You could cross it whenever you liked, drove an MTV side by side with the ATVs but you could no longer sue other parties for what could happen to you on the road.

Little by little, as every road was remodeled and programmed with the centralized system, traffic law enforcers one by one disappeared—giving way to another job, one that acted as a countermeasure to the growing number of highway traffic accidents, road running.

The government thought response teams took too long to get to the accident area, hence the birth of the organization for road runners. Road running was a high paying profession, right for a job just as risky. Runners were stationed along major highways and roads, functioning as both lookouts and quick response teams for any accident, be it minor or major, that may occur. Minor accidents were meant to be dealt with by a single runner or in groups of three depending on the gravity. Major accidents were reported to the system which then rerouted upcoming road users for an hour until the highway was once again spotless. 

You never thought you’d land the job as an act of desperation but you did, filing in your application within days from quitting school and getting it. For a job that was sought for, it was vacated a lot. Runners either chickened out when accidents finally did happen or died in the process of cleaning up one. It wasn’t an easy job, it was gruesome. You felt the same way towards it when you were met with an accident a week into the job. But the fear and the ick passes and you began to look at things differently, observing street users with the detachment of someone who agreed with the government’s ideals.

For the past year, you’ve kept to yourself most of the time—staying on your tower through all the eight hours you’re supposed to be there unlike the others who roved around for anything. Compared to prior years, accidents now happened few and far between and most of the time on purpose. Your shifts were more eventless than not. Until a rally against corrupt ATV manufacturing companies took to the streets to make their point a couple of months ago. No rerouting was called that day, not until each and every one of the protestors lied mangled on the streets. The massacre was quick but the repercussions it left behind went far and wide, giving birth to a generation of new-minded individuals who were curious why the way of things had to be that way.

Felix was one of them and he joined the road runners in the midst of it.

“Chan quit. We’re getting a new guy today.” Changbin doesn’t even bother looking up to greet you, gaze fixated on his phone—making the most out of the few minutes before your shift began.

Beneath your finger, a green light flashes and the machine beeps. “Saw that coming,” you said, looking across the room to where Chan was stationed, a part of the tower office that you’ve seen more often vacated than occupied. “New guy on an expressway? That’s new.”

“Heard he’s one of the fast ones.”

Either that or they needed more people on the expressway. You joined the runners back when the positions were still fought for, the profession respected rather than shun. Starting out as a newbie, they assigned you to small streets and country roads until you were working on bigger roads then national highways. It wasn’t because you were getting any better in your job but because those positions were harder to keep than to earn.

The new guy was a bright-eyed boy with star-studded cheeks and a nervous smile. He blinked at the both of you as he walked in, unsure of what to say when you just stared at him back. The scanner beeps beneath his finger and he walks to the back of the office to where Chan used to sit.

“Lee Felix, right?” He turned to you, wide-eyed and alert. 

Road runner contracts only lasted a year and even then only a few stayed in the job long enough to renew it. It took one good look at Felix to know that he’d be one of those who wouldn’t make it past the year—either by quitting or some foolish mistake on the road.

An alarm blared as the clock struck 4 and runners from the last shift burst through the doors of the tower from both sides of the line. It wasn’t the splotches of wetness on their suits nor the expressions on their faces that gave it away, but the metallic stench that followed them as they came in. 

“What happened?” Changbin rose from his seat, giving way to the runner who shared his desk.

“Someone tried to cross the street on a green light.”

“How many?”

“Just one,” he answered, before finally looking around. “New guy?” He pointed at Felix who still stood frozen in the middle of the road. The quiet boy nodded. “Good luck then, kid.”

You never liked it when anyone glossed over the truth of the road-running profession. It paid high for the risk of cleaning roadkill carcass all the while preventing yourself from becoming one, but it never compensated for the images wedged into your subconscious of mangled bodies, scattered insides and pools of blood. So you’ve made it a habit to put a fair warning to anyone new to the job, turning to Felix as he followed you out the tower saying, “Do yourself a favor and quit.”

But of course he didn’t, they almost never did until witnessing their first deaths. The only thing that was different with Felix was his unpredictability because he stopped his first accident from happening. It wasn’t that you didn’t see it coming. He was curious and inquisitive, a dead giveaway of his political biases. He always asked why you never stopped the pedestrians or flagged down the MTVs and you always answered the same thing: these people knew the rules and the law and whatever consequences they suffered were beyond you.

Felix never seemed to get it, his humanity completely intact. Of the three of you, he always ended up black out tired by midnight, running up and down the road to warn people to use the overpass instead of the road or entertaining impatient folk and tricking them into waiting until the crosswalk lights turned green. 

But just like him, there were hard-headed people who never listened regardless of the measures he took. The first time he saw a person carelessly cross the road in a manic sprint, he jumped right after them. Grappling hooks burst out of his belt, piercing through the wind to hook onto metal bars across the highway and he swung across like a madman, saving the man at the last second before a truck rolled past where they once were. 

You met his triumphant smile with disbelief and horror. “Maybe they haven’t oriented you, Felix, but our job is to clean up, not pick up.”

“I know and I don’t get it. Of all people, road runners can save lives and lessen traffic accidents, so why not do it?”

You’ve heard of this subtle leftist movement spreading across the provinces, the new generation of road runners adding saving pedestrians into their list of obligations. It was counterintuitive to what the government wanted to be done, but it was morally aligned with what most people thought. Road runners were being hailed again, looked up to. But the inversely proportional scales tipped, lower accident rates meant higher risks for runners. 

It didn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. There was a dog one day, got loose from its leash and sprinted off the highway sidewalk. Felix had been the first one to see it, tunnel vision narrowed to the dog’s path as it leaped onto the highway. But you’ve seen it too, along with the bus barrelling down the highway that maybe he didn’t.

“Felix, stop!” You dashed from your station, reaching him before his grappling hooks shot out. The dog continued running across the street, the bus continued moving at speed limit. Wind blew past you as it passed, leaving you puzzled on the sidewalk with nothing but dust and a carcass in its wake.

“I could’ve saved it,” Felix said, already mourning the pup he’d only met seconds ago. But even he sounded hopeless, half-knowing that there was no way helping that dog out of this one because he couldn’t have made it across without the bus ramming into him in exchange.

You remembered a time when you thought the same way but the years have dulled your hope, whatever righteousness you’ve had in you dissipating with the disbelief that people still refused to listen. And the accidents came often, desensitizing you with every death happening before your eyes. These people didn’t care about themselves no matter how hard you tried to save them.

While you grew to accept it as the months passed, Felix did not, or he wasn’t on the field long enough to know that in the end he couldn’t do anything about it if the same people who were saved never wanted saving. 

Felix was never assigned to your part of the highway before, so he never knew about that regular passerby—one who only sat by to observe the timing of things. The man always came by on weekday afternoons rain or shine. The expressway was never made for pedestrians but he still came anyway. It wasn’t hard to predict what was in his mind but you never made a move to approach nor interfere. And he disappeared for quite a while, months, and you thought he finally kicked the bucket. But he comes back one day, with a brighter expression over his once gloomy face and you’ve seen too many suicides to know what another attempt looks like.

Felix, however, did not. You didn’t see the man coming because if you did, you would’ve stopped him the way you did before during close calls. But he sees the man before you do and in the spur of the moment, the man had jumped into the highway, Felix following immediately behind him. And you can still hear Changbin behind you, shouting about upcoming cars but it falls on deaf ears and you watched the accident happen—both the man and Felix run down by a parade of cars coming from a recently greenlit intersection. You saw them launched into the air, landing so far from the point of collision and further ploughed by upcoming vehicles. Pieces of the body landed scattered down the highway, cars coming too often for any of you to get any cleaning done. 

You didn’t realize you were holding your breath until you felt your lungs begin to burn. For a moment you stood there, both in shock yet expecting what had happened. It was only a matter of when it would happen. Eventually you snapped out of it when the cars stopped coming, green light finally turning red.

From your pocket you dug out the device meant to access the central system and set the timer. The system closes off the highway and reroutes all upcoming vehicles to other roads. You began the dreadful trek to where the bodies, or most of it, actually were. Changbin called for a highway sweep, the two-man team seeming not enough to clear all parts of the bodies off the street. 

“Shame, I thought he’d last longer.” Changbin muttered as he caught up beside you, his mask and gloves already on.

“He didn’t really have it in him, you know? He was too soft.” You answered. “This might’ve been the best way to go and better now than later.”

· Bodily injury liability- Being at fault for an accident when in the driving seat of an ATV may give rise to liability.

Reasons To Buy ATV Insurance in Columbus and Madison, IN

Driving a car is commonplace. Multiple vehicles are expected to be found in residential buildings used by the family. An ordinary automobile suitable for city roads cannot do well when off the beaten track. Individuals who love to rough it out during their vacation often prefer to invest in a sturdy all-terrain vehicle such as an ATV. It is natural to think of being covered by insurance immediately. Not all states mandate this type of insurance. It still makes sense, however, to consider purchasing ATV insurance in Columbus and Madison, IN, as the state requires one to carry an additional ATV policy. ​ This makes the ATV owner wonder about the necessity. It should be good to go without insurance coverage when the state or the lender does not require it. Well, the answer is not quite so simple. Instead, it is essential to understand the reasons to buy such an insurance plan. Some of the benefits that are going to leave one satisfied with having purchased the said insurance are:-

When involved in an accident The accident may not have occurred due to the vehicle owner’s fault, but carrying the insurance becomes essential when the at-fault driver does not carry insurance or is covered inadequately. One is glad to have the Uninsured or Underinsured Insurance Coverage handy to compensate for the damage.

When at-fault An accident that the ATV owner is responsible for may result in heavy expenses unless the insurance coverage pays for the following: · Bodily Injury Liability · Passenger Liability · Medical Expenses for the insured person · Property Damage Liability · Collision Coverage

For stolen or vandalized ATV It is vital to consider comprehensive coverage to have the money needed for the repair or replacement of a damaged or lost ATV. Indeed this coverage will have the insurance company pay for all of the above including stolen and vandalized vehicles.

For Damage of ATV Trailer Sure, the ATV owner is likely to be at risk of damaging the vehicle or accidentally injuring a third person. The trailer attached to the vehicle may be damaged or stolen, too. It is prudent to consider buying additional coverage to pay for the trailer repair when it gets damaged. It is best to inquire about the inclusion of transportation trailer coverage with the ATV insurance policy.

For Damage to Accessories The basic coverage for an ATV will not cover the additional cost of upgrading or replacing the essential accessories. The total sum may be quite steep even when the insurance pays for the repair/replacement of the ATV. This makes it most important to consider buying accessory coverage that will compensate the expenses of accessories up to the specified limit.

It is advisable to shop around for ATV insurance in Columbus and Madison, IN, and compare at least three quotes before making the final decision about the insurance coverage. Raising the deductibles is a good way of reducing the premium, with bundling different insurance policies being another way to cut costs.

Need To Buy Watercraft Insurance in Abingdon and Bristol, VA

Buying auto insurance is necessary to comply with the state regulations almost everywhere across the USA. However, the same cannot be said for ATV or UTV owners. Only a handful of states mandate the purchase of such insurance. Virginia does not ask for insurance coverage for driving an ATV, UTV, or any kind of Power sport vehicle. It makes sense to buy adequate coverage, especially when intent on riding a vehicle that seats passengers alongside each other.

Not having adequate off-road or side by side insurance in Abingdon and Bristol, VA, can have devastating financial consequences when the vehicle is involved in an accident or is the cause of a mishap. Another fact to remember is that such vehicles cannot enjoy extended coverage of a standard homeowner’s insurance policy or the required auto insurance for a traditional car.

The ATV or UTV owner can shop for this type of insurance in particular by inquiring about the pros and cons, the extent of coverage included, and the exclusions. The insurance buyer of side-by-side insurance is pleased to know the following details that will surely convince the vehicle owner to purchase the policy:

1. Body Injury Liability- The coverage will have the carrier pay compensation to the injured individual who had not been inside the vehicle at the time of the accident. The compensation would be paid up to the limit of the coverage

2. Property Damage Liability- Again, the coverage will pay for the damaged property belonging to a third party that was damaged by the insured vehicle. However, the coverage will not compensate for damages to the insured person’s property

3. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist- This coverage is similar to that provided by the conventional auto insurance plan. The insurance company will pay for the medical costs in the aftermath of an accident even when the insured ATV owner is not at fault, but the at-fault driver carries no or less insurance coverage. What’s more? This coverage will also reimburse the lost wages up to a limit. This is especially helpful for individuals residing in states where this insurance is not essential

4. Comprehensive and Collision- The former type of coverage will protect the vehicle from financial risks caused by damages due to events beyond one’s control. The insurance company will pay for the repair and/or replacement of parts that are damaged due to inclement weather, fire, or vandalism. The collision coverage kicks in when the ATV/UTV is damaged in an accident involving any other motorized vehicle

5. Medical Payments- The vehicle owner who opts for this coverage will have the medical bills paid by the insurance carrier regardless of being at fault. The driver and other passengers in the vehicle at the time of the accident will be provided by the carrier

Individuals who use boats or any other personal watercraft for recreation or business operations may find buying watercraft insurance in Abingdon and Bristol, VA, beneficial in the event of a mishap.

While improvements are minor for 2023 and 2024, the Tacoma doesn’t mess with the successful formula that has made it the best-selling midsize truck.

Key Factors When Choosing a Midsize Truck With an overview of the top options, assess your needs to zero in on the best midsize truck: Intended Use and Capability Needs What level of towing/payload is required? Double check your trailer weight and hauling needs to pick an adequately powerful truck. Do you plan to go off-roading? Seek higher suspension travel and underbody protection. Will it pull double duty as a family/daily driver? Prioritize comfort, tech, and safety.

Cab Size and Bed Length Access vs crew cab (rear seat)? Choose based on passengers. Standard (6-foot) or long (6.5-foot) bed? Long helps fit more cargo. Any other special bed features needed - trunk, rail tie-downs, 115V outlet, etc? Engines and Drive Types Gas 4-cylinder, V6 or diesel? Power dictates towing capacity. Diesel has torque and economy. 4WD or 2WD? 2WD provides minor fuel savings but AWD improves traction and resale value. Manual or automatic transmission? Most buyers prefer two-pedal driving these days. Special off-road packages or upgrades? Add capability for trails. Pricing and Value Considerations MSRP price ranges span from around $25,000 to $45,000 for top trims. Incentives and special financing offers can produce big savings off sticker price. Fuel efficiency varies from low-mid 20s combined MPG for gas engines to 30 MPG for diesel. Resale values hold exceptionally well for certain models like the Tacoma.
