Can you explain what you mean by checking your brake pads?

  Making sure they aren't too worn. Brake pads have "wear indicators" in them for just that reason and have for decades. You know that squeal/squeaking sound worn brakes make? That's wear indicators doing their job.

    Yeah, but how does he check that on a walkaround?

      It's not possible on all models but if your wheels are "open" enough that you can see the pads through them, it's pretty easy to see how much material is left with just a quick glance.
