What is Checklist
A checklist is a list of all the
things that you need to do,
information that you want to find
out, or things that you need to
take somewhere, which you
make in order to ensure that you
do not forget anything.

BLOWBAGETS Checklist: Why
and What You Should Check
Before Driving
 What is the Meaning of
BLOWBAGETS?
BLOWBAGETS means battery,
lights, oil, water, brake, air, gas,
engine, tire, and self. It's a
serious reminder about checking
your car before driving to prevent
an accident or breakdown.
BLOWBAGETS Checklist:
10 Things You Must
Check Before Driving
 Battery
Your car won't start with a dead
battery, of course. Or it will, until it
runs out of battery in the middle of
nowhere, leaving you stranded or
struck on the side of the road.This
is a situation you don't want to be
in, especially at night or during bad
weather and you're traveling with
your young kids or senior parents.
So before you get in your car, make
sure your battery has a strong
charge, clean terminals, and proper
cable-to-terminal connection
Battery

Car batteries typically last for three to four years. Even

though you don’t use your car a lot, its battery can still
get drained. Over time, you’ll end up with a dead battery
if you don’t do something to extend its lifespan.
So if you have a trickle charger or smart charger at home,
use it to charge your battery. If you’re driving just
occasionally, disconnect the negative terminal first and
then the positive terminal. Wear protective gloves while
doing this. Don’t touch the two terminals at the same
time.
And if you’re not using your car at all, just remove the
entire battery. Don't forget to replace it if it's almost near
the end of its service life.Your
 Lights
Fully functioning auto lights are a safety
must-have for nighttime driving.
However, their bulbs burn out or get
defective over time. This is why you have
to inspect your car's lights regularly.
Test your headlights, turn signals, brake
lights, reverse lights, and tail lights in the
garage. The light beam should reflect on
the wall. To confirm if the lights are
working properly, ask someone to stand
in front and then behind the car as you
operate the lights.
Check also your lights for dirt, cracks,
and breakage. If you spot any, have your
 Oil
Your car needs oil to lubricate all engine
components. Too little oil is bad for your
engine—it can cause wear and tear on its
moving parts. When your vehicle runs
out of oil, your engine will stop working,
and you'll be dealing with expensive auto
repair shop bills.
Check your engine's oil level and
color.When the oil is below the minimum
level, it's time to refill. Look also for
leaks as they're a sign that your car is
quickly losing oil.
 Oil
Keeping your oil fresh is also a must,
especially if your car had been left
unused for a long period. Changing oil
gets rid of contaminants that can
damage the engine. Refer to your
owner’s manual for instructions on how
to change oil. If DIY oil change isn’t
possible, try to find a mechanic who can
do it for you.
 Water
Overheating is every motorist's worst
nightmare. A simple check of the water in
your radiator will save you from this road
disaster.
It also helps to have several one-liter
bottles of water in your trunk, just in
case your car overheats while you're
driving and you need to put water in the
radiator to cool the engine down.
 Brake
Faulty brakes are a disaster waiting to
happen. Lower your chance of meeting a
road accident—ensure that your brake
system is working properly before you
take your car out of the garage.
Push the brake pedal all the way to the
floor. It shouldn't feel spongy and have
little to no resistance. Otherwise, it isn't
safe to drive when the brakes are weak.
 Air
Next on the BLOWBAGETS checklist is
air. Are your tires properly inflated? Keep
the right tire pressure to prevent
accidents and decreased fuel economy.
Tires, regardless if they're old or new,
lose air over time. This problem isn't
easy to detect with the naked eye—you'll
need to use a tire pressure gauge.Check
the tires also for nails and other sharp
objects that puncture them
 Gas
Especially during long drives, a full gas
tank is important. Imagine how
troublesome it would be if you run out of
fuel while you're stuck in traffic or
driving along the road where a gas
station is nowhere in sight.
Keeping your gas tank full also prevents
moisture buildup in the tank, which may
lead to eventual problems in the fuel
delivery system. Furthermore, it keeps
gasoline fumes from accumulating to
dangerous levels. So don't forget to
check your fuel level through the fuel
gauge before you take your car out for a
 Engine
It's better to detect an engine problem
before you drive off rather than deal with
it in the middle of the road. Check for
leaks that indicate an engine problem.
Also, start the engine and listen to its
sound. If you hear pinging, tapping,
knocking, or any weird noise, better have
a mechanic check your engine.Especially
 Tire
Driving with worn-out tires can lead to
a fatal accident. So before you leave
for a road trip, spend a few minutes to
check your tires for bulges, bumps,
tears, and other signs of damage.
To check your tire tread depth, insert a
coin into the tire's grooves. If you can
see much of the coin's outer band,
that means the grooves are already
shallow, and you need new tires soon.
 Tire
Make sure the tires are sufficiently
inflated because they can still lose air
even if your car isn’t moving for a
long time. If you don't, your car’s fuel
consumption and handling
performance will suffer.
Use a tire pressure gauge to ensure
they’re at the recommended pressure
level. Add more air when necessary if
you have a portable air compressor at
home. If you don’t have the tools, you
can have your tires inflated on your
next trip to the gas station.
 Self
Last on the BLOWBAGETS checklist
is self. Human error is the leading
cause of road accidents in Metro
Manila. In fact, a report from the Metro
Manila Accident Recording and
Analysis System cites fatigue,
sleepiness, drunkenness, and medical
problems like asthma and dizziness
as examples.
Are you physically and emotionally fit
to drive today? Check yourself! If
you're sick, dizzy, tired, sleepy, or
drunk, you better let somebody else
take over the steering wheel
 Self
Driving under extreme emotional
stress is also dangerous because
you'll lose concentration on the road.
So avoid driving when you're
emotional.
Also, check your documents before
you hit the road. Your driver's license,
LTO registration papers, and proof of
comprehensive insurance should be
within reach when you get pulled over
on your trip.
