"Blowbagets" is a Filipino acronym used as a checklist to ensure a vehicle is safe to drive. It stands for Battery, Lights, Oil, Water, Brakes, Air (tires), Gas, Engine, Tires, and Self (driver's condition).
Here's a breakdown of each element:
Battery: Check for a strong charge, clean terminals, and secure cable connections.
Lights: Ensure all headlights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and tail lights are working.
Oil: Verify the engine oil level and condition.
Water: Check coolant levels in the radiator and the water reservoir for the windshield wipers.
Brakes: Inspect brake pads, brake fluid level, and overall brake system.
Air (tires): Check tire pressure and tread depth.
Gas: Ensure sufficient fuel for the intended trip.
Engine: Listen for unusual noises and observe for any leaks.
Tires: Inspect for wear, damage, and proper inflation.
Self (driver's condition): Check your physical and mental state to ensure you are fit to drive.
